I’m impressed you were so quality conscious at the time, almost as if you were always looking ahead into the future.
Well, that’s both a blessing and a curse with me. I do have a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist, which can be both a a good quality as well as be quite hindering, depending on what it is that you’re doing and try to accomplish. So over the years I tried and learned to cope. In case of “collecting” movies and music, I really was looking ahead. I bought my first CDs at a time when I couldn’t actually afford a CD player, but I knew one day I would. Same with movies, I knew one day a better format would come along, and so it was.
