Encarta seems so quaint to me now, but it really was a well curated encyclopedia that had a designed charm to it.

I admit when I saw this headline I thought "but what about music" and for me, CD's lived long after the 90's due to small music players and cars having audio CD players but not yet being able to read MP3's. Decks with that feature and cars with that feature were not much later.... but we still burnt them to CDRs.
