BTW, will chlorine from a pool make my eyes get worse? I've been swimming in pools almost my entire life but I've never needed glasses.
chlorine can cause some minor irritation but that's about it. If it's high conc then I guess it can cause some more serious burning.

CD's were too much of a concession to the quality of sound...it doesn't matter how small the boxes are they don't make a smooth analog curve. As the medium compresses more and more information down to a smaller and smaller size something is lost along the way.

No ipod, iphone or any mp3 players for me, hell I don't even have a cell phone....And yes I still have vinyl records that I listen to.

MP3 was enough for me. Get 150+ songs on one CD in the car. And I dont have to route wires, find a mounting location, etc.

The magic that made the Ipod was that it is usable by anyone. Even dragging and dropping files is more complex than something like Itunes that will automatically find and categorize your music. Using itunes simply makes it easier.

In the end trends only take a product so far. True application is what spawns lasting success and this is the real reason Apple has been able to dominate the market.

I do not have an iPod or iPhone. I don't own an MP3 player at all and my cell phone is a very basic one, not even a camera. I'd much rather spend my money on things that will appreciate in value.
