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. :) -- ========================================================== Rick Savoia | "I'm just very selective savoia@watts.sqa.stratus.com | about the reality Rick_Savoia@vos.stratus.com | I accept" - Calvin ==========================================================
