Gimmicks that you think why!

CD’s

Most of my collection - won’t read any more.
I wonder if the background radiation count - has slowly been degrading the aluminium recording media within the CD…

When brand new, CDs could be spread with marmalade, wiped off, and they’d still read…

Left gathering dust on a shelf for a few years though?

Wipe them off, careful not to scratch them… and they STILL won’t bloody read more often than not!
Music CDs “skip”, and software CDs - fail halfway through the install process…

Is there anything more obsolete than a CD then?
