Hey Brad, welcome to the MM list.  My 13,500 cd figure 
was totally made up---I thought that was obvious.

My comment on the vinyl superiority of the 1992 Television  
recording over the cd version was just thrown to be 
semi-humorous..

regarding the smokes see:

or http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/7784/quiz09.html 
[specifically Question #9] 

Two things: 1) If I had to make a half intelligent 
wild ass guess  for the number of 1992 Television
cds originally manufactured worldwide my estimate 
would be 25,000 to 30,000.

2) It may be that there were *relatively* fewer 
Television fans in 1992 in the Indianapolis
area per square mile [not meant as a slight
on Indianapolis area] but that in last three years 
or so there are now more Television fans in the 
Indianapolis area (per square mile) which causes 
an artificial shortage that is geographically 
specific only to used cd bins in your neck of 
the woods (or should I say near your watering 
holes to keep the Eastwood simile going?).  
I say 'artificial' because in the Northeast or 
big cities like Chicago, one can find this used 
cd rather easily.  Moreover, I see it for sale all 
the time on e-bay.

ps: Do you have any interesting/funny used cd 
stores/customer stories?
