Dick - the formats from six/ten years ago for CD (forget CD-R - higher price useless unstable medium)...have evolved into a new medium (double and far beyond)Visual is expected with audio.
The Mossberg column of the Wall Street Journal will get you up to half-speed....but you need NYTimes, FT, IT, and "a bot" to Intel, Microsoft, Apple, and AMD....with an "audio filter/search" to keep up to date. They are lots of much more fun places that exploit the previous corporate vulnerabilities.
I may miss six weeks...and then spend six months "catching up."
Sincerely,
Gargoyle
