Those speakers go well with my other new toy which is a Phillips discman-like thing that reads MP3 and AAC data CD's.
Not sure why you would bother with solid memory (compact flash) MP3 player or even worse MiniDisc.
On a recent weekend away with 30 or so friends a girl I know, who is often (wrongly) boasting of having the very best technology, was extremely excited about the MD player she had bought.
"I can put 3 and half hours of music on one 4 dollar disc and it only takes 1 hour to record", she gushed.
"See this CD", I said. "Cost me 30 cents and it's got 12 hours of digital music neatly sorted into Artist/Album".
"Wow"
"And do you know how long it took to put it on the disc?"
"No"
"5 Minutes"
As you can see I never, ever, ever, ever exagerate, ever, but it was a small triumphant moment.
