Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Streaming-Movies and Music
Years ago when I was travelling a lot for work we would come across Laser Discs in Asia, these were the bright gold LP sized pre-cursors of the DVD. You really only saw them in any quantity in Japan or Singapore, but in those countries they were super popular. One of the managers decided to buy himself one, and bring it back to Aust. The downside you had to import the discs from OS as hardly anybody stocked them locally. He was a bit of a movie buff, maybe an understatement, the last time I saw him years and years ago he'd amassed a huge collection, literally thousands of them with wall to wall bedroom sized library covered in discs. I wonder what happened to them, somebody scored the lot after he passed. Usually collections like that end up in a museum or public library.

I was stunned when a guy walked into JB HI FI Hawthorn in the late 90s and readily forked out $1200 for a dvd player.

Similar here... I did ditch my old (high quality :'( ) Turntable and amp and speakers... but I did hang on to all my albums and singles  ;D

I have so many hand signed gems (bands / individuals) they're worth a lot.  Collectors fraternities are common.  Just gotta know how valuable they are and how to protect them.  The foot slog over decades was worth every inch.

Most millenials will never understand the "warmth" of vinyl sound against a CD.

Collins would have been a worthy winner?  Wasn't she 5 - 1 up in the second set?  Barty killed her.
