I Have Seen Two Mini Discs In It's Life Time.

I Would Play Taps But I Sold My Trumpet (Bach Stradivarius 32) For Drugs About 40 Years Ago.

That Trumpet Would Be Worth A Small Fortune Now.

I Am Just Wondering When The "DVD" Will Be Terminated.

I hope the dvd lives a long time.

Video quality is plenty good enough for me and blank discs are really cheap.

One optical spinning disc format down, a few more to go.  ;)

I see a day when they all go, in favor of "memory on a Stick" (Said With A Mexican Accent).
