I have a similar relationship to MiniDisc. I will never sell my collection and I still use it now and again when the urge strikes me.

I remember in the mid-1990s a friends brother was a big film buff, he showed us RoboCop on LaserDisc - the original directors cut. I remember being very shocked at the scene of Clarence Boddicker and his cronies shooting up Officer Murphy. But on the upside, I do remember being impressed with the sharp picture and Dolby Surround mix compared to VHS tapes.

I love my minidisc player. My first real reason to own an optical cable - 12 year old me was very cool.

It's a shame MD Data was too little too late.

And just such a pointless distinction - why not allow regular audio MDs to also store arbitrary data, and then push the format as a competitor to Zip disks?
