The <strong>CED</strong> Future, Part Seven<br />
Financial Feasibility<br />
Many of you have given constructive criticism to the cause of restarting the<br />
<strong>CED</strong> format. Most of you believe that it is a futile cause, which from many<br />
perspectives of view is. However, after research I have discovered this.<br />
The estimated total cost of purchasing the patent rights, equipment, and<br />
manufacturing tools is $2,000,000.00, this is estimated remind you.<br />
According to a survey that I conducted there are 300,000 users of the format<br />
nationwide. That is $7 per person if everyone joins in. It is my personal<br />
opinion that $7 isn't allot of money at least to me, however 2 million is. I<br />
ask all of you for help. As 'Geoff' (geoff@m1.sprynet.com) said that it<br />
isn't worthwhile, but on the contrary it is. As Chemfish<br />
(chemfish@utkux1.utk.edu) wrote "Why fight off each other for what is left?"<br />
This is a good point which I would like to get across. I have found it<br />
harder and harder to obtain replacement parts and that includes stylus<br />
needles for players. We had better get moving on this project if we are<br />
going to and we must. Or we may find that are hobby can do is just collect<br />
dust.<br />
I have also started the National Capacitance Disc Library here in my home<br />
town as part of a corporate project here at my company. I invite you all to<br />
stop at my web site and check out the Disc Library Page on it. Thanks. Telecom Technologies *<br />

As I may have not said before 'I thank all of you for your criticism and for<br />
your help'<br />
With any luck we will not have to worry about running out of time. Let's<br />
beat the calendar shall we?<br />
