- I guess it just proves that hindsight is 20-20. Of course I think that
- the hard shell cases for floppies were defined after the CD standard
- was. If they had the 3.5 floppy in front of them, they might have come
- up with the idea of a hard shell case a lot easier.

- What I think would be nice would be nice would be a car CD player that
- used caddies. Changing CDs while you drive isn't very safe. If they
- were in caddies it would be easier than changing cassette tapes. Have
- the player come with five or six caddies. That should be enough to
- last until you stop for gas. It seems to me that it would be a lot
- cheaper than putting one of those changer units in the trunk.
