Currently, .mp3 players are all the hype. Everyone has one, and if you don't, you're old-fashioned. I do not have an .mp3 player. I tried to have one, but for various reasons it did not please me. I'm a MiniDisc guy. I've always been. MiniDisc has some serious advantages over .mp3 players, whether they be flash or HDD based. Note: Sunday Eve Column.

I got a kick out of readind about the varois dead media devices here this afternoon,They have everything here from the Peruvian quipu to the Regina Music box:
http://www.deadmedia.org/notes/index-cat.html
As a young lad I read a book called The Man Who Fell To Earth about an alien that crash landed here and used his superior technology to amss a fortune to finance building a spacecraft capable of hauling him home
Most of the stuff he came up with have more or less become reality in my lifetime,,I mean who in the '60's could have imagined a postage stamp sized secure digital card that would hold over a gigabyte of music or data!All this rapidly advancing technology is sure to leave plenty of dead media by the wayside,and it always seems the more proprietary it is the sooner it falls off the beaten path,As I sit here typing this on my favorite "dead"media The BeOS I can only wonder just what they are gonna come up with next LOL
