 O(> I think you're right on the NetMD coming out in 2000 or 2001, it was

 O(> There's no doubt the Sony kicked it's a** though!

The big thing I did not like about the format was that, the NetMD discs had
issues
like floppies. Some of them did not read well. I was happy to have that NETMD
device
when I was traveling 2 hours each way by bus to school back then.

Sadly mini discs are out of prihnt and more expensive. 

I ended up getting an ipod 30gb back in 2003 as my graduation present to
yself.
