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. :)
