[i should hope they are getting cheaper - they dont even make good frisbees] on the back page of the may issue of grammaphone: an ad for cds at 6 pounds. at the current exchange rate of $1.25, that is $7.50. also there was something in the april issue, i think, about a budget dgg cd at about the same price. maybe when they get around to 2.99 cutouts, i'll have to buy a cd player. enjoy - dewayne

Germany, they tend to be cheaper there. I know CDs in Germany go for about 25-30 DMs. This is about $9-$10. Steve Rosen rosen@gypsy

I wonder if there'll be a run on CD players when the disk price drops. Might be worthwhile panicking and getting one now... -- Kevin Chapman Computer Communications Networks Group Waterversity of Uniloo 'Loo, Ont., Canada
