Laserdisc players when I was a kid, my Dad had an insane obsession with new tech. When my school bought them to run a Standard Deviants math program, I got to teach my teacher how to use the thing!

In fact, my partner and I are keeping it around specifically for the express purpose of still being able to play our laserdiscs editions of the original One True Star Wars Trilogy, which for the longest time were the only way to see them in their unaltered state until Lucas caved and put them on DVD.

Very cool to hear that laserdiscs eventually lead to ebooks, though! 😀

I never imagined reading about those bad boys! The "Okay, who flipped it last time?" and one of us four children in the rotation of getting-up-and-flipping-the-disc routine.

My parents were probably one of the first owners of one. And in the end, they had over three hundred in their collection—which eventually was sold on eBay.

Thanks for the links; looking forward to reading them!
