    Minidisc was insanely good technology; the problem was that it was crazy expensive proprietary tech. So almost no one used it, and never really took off.

    But I loved mine.

      Maybe it is cool but my point is that old storage tech offers no benefits to what we have now. It’s not a bad thing when technology is superceded with zero compromise

        It offered amazing benefits 30 years ago though. And the current tech you enjoy today was made possible thanks to what was developed years ago.

          Sure but we don’t live in 30 years ago. The Wright Flyer is a crappy airplane and sticks are crappy weapons, too.
