1993 was a banner year

Ah yes. 1993. It was a banner year for digital gadgetry. It was the year that the Compact Disc medium finally overtook cassettes in worldwide sales. The MPAA was riding high on the waves of the digital future. It was also a banner year for people who bought 8-tracks. 8-tracks while producing a superior sound than the phonograph, couldn't fast forward or rewind and you couldn't even really stop them from playing, other than to take them out of the host device. So what I'm saying is, that in 1993, no one should have bought an 8-track.
