[BC] Mini Discs - Good or ?

[Mike Erickson]

I have not tried it the HI-MD, but I do have mini-discs.  With the proper
care, they will last.

(Space so you can calm down after laughing)

The problem with mini-discs is the end user and the fact that you have
moving parts.  I've seen them jammed and screwed up in more ways imaginable

The problem becomes more difficult when you consider that the portable
memory recorders out there for field work are not for the electronically
challenged (like the AEQ device).

HHB has this mic/recorder for $1200 that is vaporware right now.  Right now,
there really isn't anything that is durable/simple to use.
