Changing technology - a minor rant

I need a new 5 disc CD player. I bought the one that I have now at least 6 years ago from a second hand store. I think I paid $35 for it so it owes me nothing. I want one just like it.

I can't find one. Oh I can buy one for $300,00 but generally it appears as if they have stopped making cd players. WHY you ask Because everyone is using their IPods!!!!

I don't want an IPod ( actually I have an Apple shuffle and a MP3 player) I want a cd player not only so that I can ply my CDs but also so I can listen to books.

Why do things have to change? Why can't things that work (button down shirts, CD players) be always available?


Guess I  will have to go shopping at the pawn shops again....

Next day...... went to a pawn shop - got one for $50.00 - seems to work fine. I don't know what I am going to do when I can't find a second hand one.
