Anyone ordering the MR DVD?

Yes, you can have sound on DC but it doesn't work very well. Even the hardcore DC guys will say to use DCC if you really want sound. But then they usually have another reason to reject sound. To each his own, I'll stick with the positives. I can free up some of my shelf space, it's less I need to cart around when I move (and I WILL move again - thus my layout is designed to come apart in easily moved sections), it's indexed so I can find stuff, and less fire hazard. Plus it's the old days of MR, when it was good - when every issue had construction articles, and there were those great design articles by John Armstrong - in short, all the reasons people DON'T like MR today. Plus it's cheap, on a per issue basis - at $2.67 per YEAR, you can't get the paper issues for that, unless you find someone throwing them out and willing to give them away.
