1. By the spring of 1999, the price of a DVD player had dropped below the U.S. $300 mark. At that point Wal-Mart began to offer DVD players for sale in its stores. When Wal-Mart began selling DVDs in their stores, DVDs represented only a small part of their video inventory; VHS tapes of movies made up the remainder. "DVD" was originally an initialism for "digital video disc"; some members of the DVD Forum believe that it should stand for "digital versatile disc", to indicate its potential for non-video applications. Toshiba, which maintains the official DVD Forum site [2], adheres to the interpretation of "digital versatile disc". The DVD Forum never reached a consensus on the matter, however, and so today the official name of the format is simply "DVD"; the letters do not "officially" stand for anything.

2. The first digitally recorded (DDD) popular music album was Bop Till You Drop by Ry Cooder, recorded in late 1978; it was unmixed, being recorded straight to a two-track 3M digital recorder in the studio. Many other top recording artists, such as Stevie Wonder, were early adherents of digital recording; Wonder adopted the technology in early 1979 for Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants and all subsequent recordings. Others, such as former Beatles producer George Martin, felt that the multitrack digital recording technology of the early 1980s had not reached the sophistication of analog systems; however, he used digital mixing to eliminate the distortion and noise that an analog master tape would introduce (thus ADD). An early example of an analog recording that was digitally mixed is Tusk by Fleetwood Mac, from 1979.
