Actually in the early days of CDs I took a completely different approach. I went out and bought myself a very nice turntable (a used Linn LP12) and while all my friends were busy replacing their vinyl collections with little silver discs I only bought CDs of new material. The LPs sounded great then and still sound great today. The funny thing is with the advent of streaming music and digital downloads the days of the CD are clearly numbered and yet there is no replacement for good old vinyl. In other words, long after CDs are replaced by digital files vinyl will live on. By the same token ebooks may well replace the novel but may never replace those large format glossy photo books aka "coffee table" books. -- ralphpnj Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels -> Snatch -> The Transporter -> Transporter 2 (oops) -> Touch 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80369 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
