   Find someone selling a minidisc recorder, since they had such a short   
   selling period they are mostly orphaned at this point and may get a low   
   price.   
      
   I bought something at a garage sale in the spring, and the seller went on   
   about his son buying the unit "$400, and now he doesn't even play the   
   guitar anymore", and then I asked about the minidisc disks, and he went   
   into  another story about the son buying it just as MP3 players were   
   coming in, "another $400, and then he lost the thing...", all that   
   remained were the  blank disks.  I was tempted to buy them, "for when I   
   find the minidisc player", but didn't.  Must be hard to be a frugal parent   
   of a teenager.
