I'm cool with that -- but one of my closest friends recently got rid of all
his vinyl and CDs after having digitized all the latter. (I don't think he'd
had anything on vinyl he either didn't also have on CD or hadn't been able
to find on the Internet.) He did make enough selling his stuff to be able to
buy a new HDTV, but man, I couldn't have done that. People are doing this
all over the place...
