...God knows it's a daily occurrence. But the reason, I think, that CD manufacturers introduced the long boxes was to help thwart folks from walking out from music stores with CDs tucked here and there.

And as you said, having something a little more hefty in your hand with typically larger than CD graphics was eye-catching, as well. One of the reasons that some folks like vinyl.

The elimination of the physical medium itself, be it an album, a CD, a tape, as we've discussed, has its own attractions, too. Granted, a PC, an iMac, an external hard drive or thumb drive are all physical media, too. But for a growing number, a more elegant and space saving solution.

Just my 2¢, naturally.
