In 1971, a local person here bought 7 Volvo 144 Cars. He started to use one,
and put the other ones in quarrantine. He is now some 50 years old and has
just taken out his Volvo no.4 from the barn. It is very smart, and people
around feel stupid, not having done the same.
The only thing it takes, he says, is that you must dare to be a bit odd and
not follow the crowd.
Why not buy 20 MD? They will probably last a lifetime?
In the future, when you copy the MD recordings into the media of the time,
nobody will know unless you don't tell them.
This is what many wildlife film-makers have been doing for the last 5 years.
They use an MD, copy to DAT, and neither the producer, the editor nor the
sound-engineer will ever notice.
