An audio magazine printed and article about a guy that went out and
bought several different brands of minidisc and swore he and even his
wife could tell the difference between them.  He proceeded to rate them
for warmth, brightness, etc.  Any magazine that would publish crap like
that would publish anything, just like the supermarket tabloids.
