I suppose there were more titles on LD than HD-DVD, but it was still very much a niche item. (I hooked mine up a few months ago and it's amazing the *thrummmmmm* it makes spinning up that huge heavy disc..). So what? Once it's spinning it's quiet enough, and LDs were a much better medium than VHS tapes. The sound of the best ones still beats DVD sound. All true, but LDs had their own problems not experienced too much by DVD, like warping (shades of vinyl) and rotting, which plagued early ones, poorly produced ones. The best sound LDs were the last generation sporting DTS and DD in a less compressed form than DVDs. I had about 1,500 when DVDs launched. I looked at the size of LDs and said, "Nah. Right technology, wrong size." The look reminded me too much of LPs, including the hole in the middle, which reminded me of both LPs and 45s. I'm glad I waited. Well, you better throw out your DVDs, 'cause they have a hole in the middle, and sure look like 45s. You know, the more I got to thinking about what you said, the dumber it seemed. They don't look ANYTHING like 45s. You do know what 45s look like, don't you? --
