$280 is TOOOOOOO high!!! Buy the MD-CD2. As long as they keep making MD
products, I think that Sharp with have a had in them. I'm surprised to learn
that Aiwa (which is largely owned by Sony) would make such a move.
All of the Aiwa mini systems that I have seem included both TOSlink outputs and
a "MD" choice as one of the sources.
I just don't get it. MP3 is not a replacement for MD. What is the matter with
the American (and many other countries outside of Japan) markets! People are so
stupid. But I shouldn't be surprised.
In a country that holds a national election and can't come up with two
candidates better then Bush and Gore can we expect people to "understand" MD?
Gore lost (well actually he didn't lose, since he one the popular vote) because
of his lack of presence and his wanting to take credit for the past 8 years of
accomplishments without acknowledging Bill Clinton.
And s far as Bush is concerned, he is the MP3 of presidential candidates!
Severely lacking, but simple. Inexpensive to initially "purchase" but totally
impractical in the long run because he is too expensive to archive.
