hmm hope that comes through. if not go to this page
http://www.circuitcity.com/init.jsp and select Minidisc in the dropdown
combo box that says "pick a product". From there look under LEARN ABOUT
MiniDiscs BASICS.
THe information there is current as of 4/6/2000 Maybe we should send
them messages telling them they are wrong? THere must be someplace to
send them info on the webpage.. Maybe we should reword the atricle and
suggets they use better wording?
