Why doesn't the industry go MiniDisc?
One question...
Why doesn't the computing industry go MiniDisc? I've never understood the advantages of using the larger and easier damaged CDs. MiniDiscs all very recordable and they're all very write-protectable, so what's the deal? They're only a few more cents a pop.
Another idea is the blue laser CD, but only if it comes in a cartridge like the MiniDisc.
Perhpas Apple should take the initiative to include a MiniDisc drive in new PowerMacs. Let's mail Steve Jobs!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!
Personally, I'd be willing to pay a little more for a MiniDisc that fits in my pocket.

Thanks again.
Sony screwed up though. They tried to market MD 140MB drives that were incompatible with the Audio Discs and they came out with 140MB MD-DATA discs at $25 a pop.
Sony's greed and lack of vision prevented MD from hitting critical mass. I will support the format until it's death but recently Sony has only prolonged this inevitable death with that advent of small HD and more competitors in the Compressed Audio expertise.
