I agree. It was really wierd to pay for a download at first. Now I don't think twice about it. There will always be people that prefer physical media. A good comparison are product manuals. Remember when you would get sizable manuals with software proudcts? Or your computer? Now you get a quick start guide and all of the gory details are to be had in an electronic copy. Things are evolvin'. If you go to the store now, I'm not sure you will find a CD player on the wall. As you point out, DVD players are now used for CD players. And yeah, a CD revival - that's pretty funny! Break out those green pens and stabilizer rings! -- maggior Rich --------- Setup: 2 SB3s, 3 Booms, 1 duet, 1 receiver.
