Happy Birthday to CD's! :p I really don't remember my first cd, but I remember I was angry, because I was afraid of what was going to happen to vinyl.. But now I love both! :D

lol Filip Fong your comment reminded me of how afraid I was of CD's for so long.  And I didn't like the fact you could only use one side, seemed like a huge waste.
