How much are Laser Disk Players? There are some computer animation discs that
are VERY tempting - and, of course Hammersmith :)

Pioneer CLD-980 combi-players can be had for well under $400.  This 
is a minimal CD/LD player but it has everything you need in simple CD 
or LD player.  

Anyone who wants to be watching his KT videos five to ten years from 
now would do well to consider an LD player.  The ravages of time on a 
on a five to ten year old videotape are not pretty.

Unfortunately, KT LD availability seems limited.  The eight inch LD of
_The Sensual World_ videos is widely available and the _Live at the
Hammersmith_ disc is available as an import.  The rest have been
reported available as Japanese imports but I've yet to locate them.
(Pointers wecome!)  One person told me on the phone that _The Whole
Story_ would be available on disk domesticly by July.
