  17. Hmm... Well, LDs are 12" (like records) and analog (like records)...
  18. Maybe the next generation is a 12" sound-only analog LD. Surely this
  19. would make the die-hard-vinyl-LP-loving crowd happy? And think of the
  20. capacity! CLV LDs can cram 60 minutes of video per side. Audio, with its
  21. much lower bandwidth requirements, could probably fit several hours per
  22. side.
