Man, I can remember Neil talking about "hating CDs" back in an interview in "CD Review" back in 1990, and talking way back THEN about wanting to release his enormous archives in a better format. I stopped being excited about it in, like, 2000, thinking it would never happen.
I might buy a Blu-Ray player now. Of course, will we have to get them for our cars, too?
Bill, I've stopped trying to keep up with the formats, and let my computer do it for me. I have a mac mini (and a hard drive) in the living room that's connected to the receiver and uses our big TV as a monitor. It plays everything, so no more keeping up with the format changes. I've got no DVD player, no CD player -- all I have to do is upgrade the mac mini every couple three years. And for the car, all you need is a mp3 player -- no need to keep up there, either.
I haven't tried Blu-ray on the mac mini yet, though, so I don't know if it'll work (I suspect I'll have to wait for an upgrade). Neil's release is the first Blu-ray disc that has attracted any interest from me, so I haven't been following the Blu-ray news (until now)...

And to think, I don't even have my DVD player or TV hooked up right now. I do have a DVD in my PC, does that count?
Blu-ray? I think I'll pass that one by, too. ;)
