Thanks everyone. I was in a Best Buy in Colma
yesterday and could not find MDs, although I liked the
roof-top parking with view of the cemetaries, the
freeway and the JoAnn's Crafts across the street, and
I like going to electronics stores for the noise and
chaos. Of course I didn't ask anyone for help finding
the MDs, fearing humiliation as a defense of the
employees ignorance ("What's a tape recorder? Why
would anyone make recordings?") so they may have been
there. I dunno. I think MD is kind of dead. Now
obsolete. But I ordered some online from
professionaltape.com (discontinued item. 89 cents
each. multi-colored. "Please order in quantities of
five.")
