Trivia Time.

Did you know that when CDs came out in 1981, to copy 650megs on a hard drive would have set you back $220,000US and you would have needed  130 “5meg” Seagate drives at $1700 a pop, or $3400 each  Apple “5 meg drive” for a cost of $442,000.

Did you know that the hole in a CD is the same size as an old Dutch 10 cents coin?

..........Beethoven's Symphony in D Minor Opus 125 No. 9 was the benchmark for detemining the capacity of the CD.
