We need them, MD is now a small but financially recognisable market for them but we could be killed if the manufacturers of equipment and discs decided to drop it and they'd hardly notice the loss. Once MD becomes a mass market media, the new CC, only then can we be sure it's future is safe for many many years. And I reiterate my view that solid-state storage won't be viable within a decade or two. The future's bright, the future's round and flat PrinceGaz -> Thinks chips will replace discs eventually, but only when I have clocked up quite a few more years.
