Do you remember, maybe 15-20 years ago, the short-lived ability to record a cassette tape of favorite songs at record stores? Now that I think of it, remember record stores? :-)

The name attached to the technology was Personifications (though that may not be correct).

You could make a cassette tape of any music ... something like $1/song.

On one tape, I had Strauss and Guns 'n Roses.

Personics. I had them make me a Howard Jones greatest hits. It was cool, but I was embarrassed when they called my name over the loudspeaker and said “Your HOWARD JONES tape is ready!”

This guy is off if he thinks Blu-Ray is going to make DVD obsolete. The picture is much better, and I wouldn’t mind it becoming dominate, but few are going to be willing to start building their libraries again. I think they’ll be lucky if BR isn’t the new laserdisc.
