Junk shops, anyone? (Score 1)

Well, put it this way. Let's say from my generation, someones father put instructions on an 8 track on how to gain the family fortune. How would you play one of those ancient things on the devices of today? It's very simple, really. You'd just make your way down to the local pawn or junk shop, wouldn't you? I'm sure that there are more than enough CD-ROM drives to go around. And with how they're making DVD readers and writers backward compatable with the good ol' CD formats, it is highly possible that several installments of future media readers and writers will be able to at least read a regular ol' CD. This, of course, all provided that junk shops are around in say 40 to 50 years. I don't know about how old the rest of you are, but I don't plan on kickin' it before that happens. Of course you can't expect death, can you? Not that I have a fortune to give to my future children anyways.
