The trouble with DAT was that it didn't really sound any better than
VHS HiFi which cost a fraction as much. MiniDisc at least offered
some economy and portability.

DAT was far better than the MiniDisk (which is actually the standard storage
in much of the Third World in radio), but it is very unreliable. One
engineer said, "A DAT machine is a midget VHS with an attitude."

The reason DAT had a passing popularity was its portability. For radio ENG,
it was the standard for a while. Darned things kept breaking, though.

I am eating a ham and cheese sandwich right now and a bunch of back to

always have to save back something for my little doggy (and let her lick
the plate) if I don't,she will whup me arse.

puppy.Only took me a few days to house break her.Nowdays,she slurps out
me right ear (you ever had a little dog's tonge smooch out your ear? you
dont know what you are missing!) I dont know how she thought up that
''signal'',it was all her own idea.
