On tonight's broadcast of CBS's new hit sci-fi drama "Now And Again," the
minidisc made a guest appearance as a data disk stolen by the character of
Michael Wiseman. TV viewers had a clear view of the little 2 1/2 disc as
Mr. Wiseman removed it from a suit jacket pocket to hand over to a corrupt
general. The disc appeared to be a TDK gold disc, although I suppose it
could have been a Maxell Gold. Minidiscs are often seen in sci-fi movies,
but rarely are they depicted as what they actually are: music audio discs.
Wouldn't it have been nice if Chandler had given Monica a minidisc as his
belated Valentine's Day present, rather than an audiocassette, on
yesterday's episode of "Friends"? I guess we'll have to wait a few more
years. At least TV producers think that our beloved MD is cool-looking....
