STOP!  CD is not CED.

CED is the RCA stupid video format with a stylus the C is "capacitive"
I believe.  RCA has discontinued manufacturing CED players (GOOD!).


CD is COMPACT DISK and is a smaller version of the laser disk for AUDIO
purposes.  CD's are here to stay (for a while).

Dave, you are confusing CD disks with CED disks.  The CD
disk referred to in the original article IS a laserdisk;
the head does not touch the recording surface, and it is
not on the way out.  Your statements apply to the CED disk,
which is different from the CD disk, so let's not mix
the two, eh?
