No. Just used a CD-R to transport medical images between two different implementations of the Cerner healthcare medical records system, because that was the easy way.

I regret giving away my CD/K7 stereo; I miss being able to pop in an album and play it. Sometimes it&rsquo;s nice to set limits. That said, there are upsides to putting enough of my CDs compressed into .opus onto an old Android.

Nope. My MAM Gold and M-DISCs are going to live for a while yet. And people still buy CDs and DVDs. Sometimes it&rsquo;s nice to own things instead of renting your life.
