Yeah LaserDisc came before CD, that why in the movie Terminator Crazy Eddie on the radio mentions "Compact LaserDisc". How compact are they! wawa wa wa!

That is the exact site I was remembering from a year ago Joel, The History of Discovision, thanks again.



BTW all I said was that even though the LD wasn't actually digital the basic principle of a digital laser read optical containment system, I.E. the reading of pit's and lands or 1's & 0's off an aluminum surface to derive data, was started within this 1973 (or 1957 when it was apparently first conceived!) device albeit in a slightly different form. I thought that was interesting.
That is all I said.
I was not talking about PCM itself.
