And what a pain in the neck they were - those old carts.

Yep! MD gets my vote from an ex-broadcaster's viewpoint. The DENON
machines seems to be quite popular in the cons these days. Good for
playing out ads/jingles/idents.

Wish there'd been MD in my day.

My impression is that DAT was originally a domestic format. Am I
correct?

Meanwhile my little Sony MZ-R2 sounds great. And no rewinding or fast
forwarding to hear that favourite track again.

Also - there's a new home MD deck from Sony called the JES-550 (or
something). Sells for about 299 UKP. I hear it is rather good value.
Worth checking out perhaps?

I would certainly buy MD again.
