I sometimes wonder that nobody seems to have come out with an MD drive
for computers. At least not that I've heard of. I think that if MDs
were used for things other than music, then their advantages (i.e.
cheaper/higher quality than MP3, portability, the way they don't have
tape to jam, etc) may become more apparent to people.
Alas, I guess with the proliferation of Jaz and Zip drives, it is hard
to sell the media as a mega-floppy. The record industry wouldn't be
happy about it either I suppose, but it is a long time since I've heard
of them being happy about anything they didn't think of.
Just a thought,
Anna
