- I forget who it was who said it, Pete Townsend maybe, but
- he was right: "It seems that the record companies continue
- to find ways for the consumers to buy the same thing over
- and over again". I'll wait until the MD comes down to
- the price of the CD and then I'll start checking into
- it. Until then, I can't see myself going out and replacing
- my CD collection with MD or for a $600 Walkman.
-
- 78's -> 45 -> 33 1/2 -> 8 track -> Cassette -> CD -> MD.
-
- Or something to that effect. It may be the wave of the
- future, but I wish that it was backwardly compatible. :)
