Just some more food for thought on the "Bring back the CED!" project.
Does anyone know just WHERE the CED pressing devices might be
located?
I remember a few years ago on the classic video game group... some
guy had a great idea that all the classic gamers make a pilgrimage to
New Mexico (Or was it Arizona) and there they would do an
archaeological dig for a ton of overproduced atari 2600 games (ET,
Swordquest Earthworld) for fun and for souvenirs. So, all these
elaborate plans were made on how and when everyone would bring their
pup tents and there pick axes to the site for the dig.
Only problem, no one could figure out just WHERE the location was.
So it was about 6 months of wishful thinking.
Does anyone know where it might be? If it existed? Is there only one
machine? Or what?
Also, on another note from a skeptic... I think the number given as
the number of people still using CED's... is overstated. Even if it
was not.. I don't think people who aren't on the internet should be
counted! How are they to contribute anything if they don't know? I
would guestimate the number of people who are CED users and are on
the internet at what... 100? 200? Maybe less than either of those?
I'm not against this whole deal, I think it'd be swell.. but, I say
cut through some feasibility discussion and have someone do the leg
work and find out where the pressing machine might be if it still
exists. Because, if there is no machine.. what's to do.. make
another? Not likely.. it probably takes a huge obsolete machine just
to build the huge obsolete machine that is used to press the obsolete
disks that we like so much.
