[78-L] RIP CDs

[neechevoneeznayou at gmail.com]

I'm waiting for CDs to make a comeback, as LPs have done.

And if interest rates every go back up, the other kind of CDs may make a 
come back also.

For those of us who want liner notes, those can typically be downloaded 
as well, along with materials to make a CD case.

I am wondering how record companies will market things without pictures 
or some kind of verbiage to tell the public how great their stuff is. 
All on-line I suppose.

So if this, or when this, happens, CD players will also go the way of 
VHS recorders. Maybe I should buy a few extra to keep on the shelf. I 
reallt don't look forward to Xferring my CDs to a HDD, along with my 
VHS, Hi-8, and other video formats to a DVD. It may not be far behind.
