While low-quality at first, consumer digital video increased rapidly in quality, first with the introduction of playback standards such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 ( adopted for use in television transmission and DVD media ), and then the introduction of the DV tape format allowing recording direct to digital data and simplifying the editing process, allowing non-linear editing systems ( NLE ) to be deployed cheaply and widely on desktop computers with no external playback / recording equipment needed.

While it is undetermined when the company began manufacturing wax crayons, they were indeed selling them as early as 1883, having appeared with a display of crayons at the World's Columbian Exposition that year.

While the BIOS video interface routines were adequate for rudimentary output, they were inefficient ; they did not have " string " output ( only output by individual character ) and they inserted delay periods to compensate for CGA hardware " snow " ( a display artifact of CGA cards produced when writing directly to screen memory )-- an especially bad artifact since they were called by IRQs, thus making multitasking very difficult.

While PS's ability to display fonts on " low resolution " devices was good, " low resolution " meant something on the order of 300 dpi, not the 96 dpi that a NeXT screen used.

While Bruno Mégret and Bruno Gollnisch, in an unusual display of dissent, favoured tactical cooperation with a weakened centre-right following the left's victory, Le Pen rejected any such compromise.
