As a chronically late adopter I have maybe fifteen pre-recorded CDs, most of which came stuck to magazine covers. However I'm beginning to warm to them in their death throes and have begun putting music onto CD. Mini DVDs are another short-lived format I've recently discovered, the cameras to take them are available for buttons and provide perfectly good reproduction. Unfortunately everyone is catching onto film cameras again and the price is rising - I never stopped using the stuff. Ditto cassette tape.

Big supermarket chains like Tesco are good for buying tape, CD, mini DVD and so. I recently bought a digital camera, mainly for its film capability I still use older formats alongside. There was a radio programme last year on the revival of analogue cassette tape in experimental music.
