I'm talking about the CD when it was first introduced (1981 in Japan I
think). CD players cost $1000+ then, which was a lot for a turntable at the
time (only the gold plated stuff from companies like Forsel were that
expensive).

"Let me explain a couple of things. Time is short. That's the
first thing. For the weasel, Time is a weasel. For the hero,
Time is heroic. For the whore, Time is just another trick.
If you're gentle, your Time is gentle. If you're in a hurry,
Time flies. Time is a servant, if you are its master. Time
is your god, if you are its dog. We are the creators of Time,
the victims of Time, and the killers of Time. Time is timeless.
That's the second thing. You are the clock, Cassiel."
