  Did I just see an ad for -vinyl- CDs?
 [Looked... can't find it.]
 
 What kind of plastic are CDs supposed be anyway?
 Someone mentioned it but my memory chips are defective.
 
 With the prices of some of them, they should be
 recorded on gold. Looked at a 6 CD set of Lester
 Young in a store last month -- supposedly on sale
 -- and I thought: Hey, just what I need -- til I
 turned it around and saw the price tag -- $219.99.

 convenience is remarkable, depending on your CD
 player: choosing cuts, repeating cuts, making a
 selection of cuts to to play, etc. -Enjoy- is the
 operative word all right.
