CD's were fine... but portable players were anything but!... and I remember a Blue Peter programme introducing them to us when they first came out, where they showed how industrious they were by throwing them across the room and smearing jam on them! No such luck!! Then I remember the mini-discs... a phase which lasted all of 5 minutes (quite thankfully) before it all became computerised! As a runner, I am very grateful of this invention... but you still can't beat a good vinyl record! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578117475094648923noreply@blogger.com
