    We are closer to the invention of CDs than to nuclear fusion. Feel old yet?

    CD racks and wallets were a fun accessory to shop for too.

      Depends on the person. I asked for some because I didn’t have an MP3 player and would burn CDs to listen to while on the bus. I couldn’t buy them myself because I was too far from a store that sold them and couldn’t drive.

        Same here. I grew up in a small town and had no access to a store that sold CD-Rs. Getting a cylinder of them as a gift was awesome.

    No?

    I remember blank cd bundles like this costing about $10. That would be a good stocking stuffer, but not a christmas gift.

      Money works differently for younger people. When you’re 13 or so, the things you desire are a lot more difficult to save up for, especially if your family isn’t that well off

      I see your point but also a stocking stuffer is a Christmas gift.
