As much as I know the MD is NOT dying here, in Europe. In fact I was pleased to see myself an improvement since the new MDLP series. London I heard to be the center of european MD universe, then comes Germany, then France. I live in East Europe, Romania, where one can find a lot of cheap korean mp3 stuff and I must say I thought for quite a while the MD cause was lost here. But things are changing as I see more and more MD stuff at the local Sony Centers: the 500, the 700 and the 750 with FM. No sign of R900 or R909 tough. The cheapo MD blanks are considered the red TDK's (a little more than a dollar each). Our personal hell here is with the accesories, very hard - almost impossible - to find. You have to seek in Western Europe for everything and pay for transport. As the country with the strongest hacker community (after Russia) we cant use credit cards for ordering, nobody trust romanian customers anymore :-( Is a common fact that only in 2000 romanian hackers inflicted a 5.000.000 usd fraud in merchandise... Hope this will change soon. best regards, Stefan ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
