   AA>"When everything is digital, why we long for media we can hold   
     >in our hands"   
      
   I can relate to the idea more than a lot of people probably. I own a lot of   
   albums and have a Dual turntable for my stereo system and I have a fairly   
   high end CD/DVD Player but have never purchased a CD or DVD.   
      
   To answer the obvious question, the DVD player is part of a VCR and I have   
   made Tapes with something like 350 movies on them..  That said, most are now   
   so old that they likely no longer work well, if at all. I just don't find   
   time to watch movies over and over so I've stopped collecting them..   
      
   Okay, digital music, I'm not one to carry music with me everywhere I go, I   
   have a music station on in the car while driving but I don't have the stereo   
   playing at home all the time. But I do have close to 1000 MP3 Music pieces on   
   my computer because I do like to have some music on while answring eMail.   
      
   The most notable 'hold in your hand' thing would be books. As I've mentioned   
   before I have a collection of something like 16,000 eBooks but, if a paper   
   version is available in the library, I will read that instead of an eBook,   
   even though my Phone, Tablet and Laptop have special software for reading   
   eBooks in a number of formats.  Normally I will only get into an eBook if it's   
   part of a series that the Library is missing some parts of, and that's rare.   
   I read about 150 paper books a year but have only read about 8 eBooks in the   
   past year.
