What about all those terrific pre-CD albums: Stan Hamilton, Berkeley Players, Jimmy Blue, Jim Johnstone, etc... Problem is, there are sooo many wonderful recordings that it would be easier for me to pick 3 not to bring than to leave all of the rest of my music behind. I would opt for something about the same size as a stack of 3 standard jewel cases--a 60 gigabyte external drive with all my music in mp3 format. The original challenge implicitly assumed that a CD player, amplification and electricity were available, so I would replace the CD player and amplifier with an mmx notebook PC with internal speakers (which could also play your 3 CD's if you got stranded with me). Happiness is ALL of my music. :))) Cheers, Oberdan. 184 Estaban Drive, Camarillo, CA 93010-1611 USA Voice: (805) 389-0063, FAX: (805) 484-2775, email: xxxxx@xxxxx.xxx
