At the CES in 1979(I think or maybe 1980?), the Philips techy-types were demonstrating how you could spread butter on a Compact Disc, subject it to Coca Cola, water, heat, etc., then wipe it off with your shirt sleeve and then slip it into the player and it worked! Not once did they tout its fidelity.It took a deal with Sony and SOny's marketing machine to change the course and seal the deal on the CD's future.
Of course, Philips had it right all along, LOL.
