My original feeling was he has these cds lying around unused, so why not try to put them to good use in the spirit of some sort of ecological, down-home country spirit of frugality in this throw-away age of consumer profligacy. I don't use them any longer myself. They seem to be on their way out the door as a medium (my sympathies to T.S.). I never liked that sound of a reaction engine starting up anyway. People do hang the shiny things from their fruit trees to scare off avian fruit lovers, so maybe all is not lost. I think the barbarous term for that is 'repurposing.' Though the ecological political correctness of such a maneuver might be subject to caution. > Then again, I don't know how one would accurately measure this. > >
