[slinkelist] Missing Discs

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:28:56 -0400

Mostly they go to the car.  My wife sometimes takes a few to listen to at
work.  Sometimes the kids take them to their rooms to listen on their CD
players.  Tapes and MiniDiscs don't work as neither car has one of those.
Besides, when I'm leaving, I want what I want at that moment, not what may
already be on another format, nor can I wait to create that format.

In an ideal world I would have multiple copies of popular discs.  But then I
wouldn't solve the major storage problem I had either.
