That is, if Blu-ray is here to stay.
I wouldn't count on that. The useful lifespan of each subsequent
media support has been steadily decreasing since at least the advent
of celluloid film. Vinyl records lasted for, give or take, 7 or 8
decades.
Not true. They are still the preferred choice amongst serious audiophiles.
True, but how many companies still press LPs? More than piano roll
manufacturers?
I did hear that there is at least 2 LP makers - though I wouldn't expect
the number to increase anytime soon.
Whereas CDs are still manufactured by.... no one (?)
Ditto floppy disks. (and crts).

Borders has a full section of CDs. How else will you buy music?
One-offs at 99¢ from I-tunes?
If I want an album of Chopin, am I going to have to watch a BR video of
somebody playing it?
(That's a tough one for drivers with CD players!)
You can still buy floppies at Radio Shack. And cassette tape. I don't

The rumor is that they will be bought by a big-box consumer appliance store.
