I had a portable laser disc player. Lots of people thought I was a pizza delivery guy just jamming out to magic pizza tunes. It had to be held level
Well the cool kid in class had a minidisc!

I got my first MiniDisc in 99, when I was 19. It was Panasonic off eBay, and it was fucked. So I got my second MiniDisc in 99 when I was 19. THAT one was a Sony, and was rock solid.
I wish I could have afforded one in ‘96, because then I might have got more use out of the tech before MP3 strutted up and pantsed it.

Yes! Oh my God, I thought that was a uniquely Australian thing because my partner from the UK had no idea what I was on about. But there was like 2 years in highschool for me where everyone was obsessed with the fitting 3-4 songs on a minidisc.
Though it helped that you could get actual, good music in cereal box mini discs prizes. I got a Missy Higgins Single and played it to death. (litteraly, it exploded in our PC disc drive, mini discs were great at doing that)
