 Too late -- most of my record collection was
 pretty worn out and I was glad when CDs came along
 -- now no worries about being clumsy and damaging
 some hard to replace record. Never thought much of
 tape, although there was a convenience factor
 there.
 
 But that's a new one to me, the turntable with the
 laser beam. Hadn't heard of that before.
