Back when I worked in "the business", and we were just starting to  
transition to digital video, I had a hard time trying to explain to  
certain managers that the traditional "Bars and Tone" was not a  
particularly useful test signal.

Especially after one particularly stodgy fellow made some predictions  
about storage requirements based on his "1 hour recording", of B&T of  
course. He was exuberant about how much "video" we could store on a  
1GB drive.

Needless to say...
