I recognize your point, but I think it's an apples-to-oranges comparison. There
are a lot of points to be made visually that don't really need the overkill of a
whole video/multimedia setup. They just need a few simple, telling
illustrations. That's where the V-M could come in handy. And its one major,
overwhelming advantage over an elaborate LCD video system is that it can be
tossed into a briefcase and then "set up" and ready for use in about five
seconds (ten, if you're really fumble-fingered!).
