BUY?...... Clinton, wash your mouth... Buy??????

I don't have a CD burner - which wouldn't record from tapes anyway. And why should I have to go out and BUY (gasp!) yet another piece of stereo gear just because the cheapskate builders decide to go one way and not offer any kind of choice. I'd like to see a choice offered - CD or Tape ... or both! Is the market driven only by what's new, or by what people actually want?
