I’m
doing my far-too-occasional deep-pore cleaning of my office. It’s one
of those chores that I should do two or three times every year, but I
don’t. I’m doing things like moving printers that haven’t been used in 8
years and other things like that.
Tonight
I discovered a small stack of MD discs. OK, who remembers MD discs?
They were the transition from records/CDs to MP3s. A mini-disc that
still held a full album. I have a wonderful MD recorder/player that I
used for several years that gave me a lot of pleasure on flights to
Vegas.
At
a Comdex show many years ago I remember a conversation with the PR rep
for the maker of an MD recorder. He was unusually factual when he told
me that MDs had been a great very-short term profit maker. He also said
that it was a doomed format and MP3 players would overtake them in a
year or so. He was absolutely right!
