Is it really??   :o  The first CD I bought was Dire Straits - Love Over Gold.  Must get the remastered version, because the original sounds rubbish today.

Yup, the CD celebrated it's 25th birthday a couple of weeks back. My biggest memory from the early days was how limited the range was! Not to mention expensive. My first disc, from memory, was Handel...

Yes, but if you got the power and trajectory just right, they would fly!
