The MiniDisc was horrible because everything around it was proprietary. No thanks.



Sure, that's why it failed, but it's bizarre to me to focus on something metaphysical like that. If something can go from horrible to something else without changing a single atom, just Sony publishing some things under a license? What was actually horrible about it at that point, how did you let the circumstances overshadow the object?

That tells me something about you, but nothing about MiniDisk. Which was a cool little futuristic cartridge thingy.
