Perhaps in 30 years the CD-ROM problem will be more

finding working 8-track players or 78 RPM turntables today. There are

It would be interesting to compare the number of 78 RPM records
ever made to the number of data CD made, for example. As for
finding CD-ROM readers, I'm sure the surplus places will have
pristine in-shrink-wrap ones on the shelf, in the same way
you can still buy surplus from WW II.
