    If only those 70's recordings had the fidelity of today's.

    Oh, but they did. 4 track 16 IPS reel to reel with a tube type Macintosh amp and Klipsch speakers. Master vinal discs which were played once, taped, and then stored. I remember when CD's first hit the market. The sound was too precise. They didn't sound real. Guys, draftees, bought big stereos over seas and shipped them home. The guy I grew up with sent 5 systems home from Japan. 3 of which I sold for a nice profit.

    Ahhh, a Mac amp with tubes. 12AV7, 6HF8 triodes. Transformer coupled. The best mellow sound. Reel to reel....how I wanted one of those.

    Real, local newspapers.

    Trying to read the Sunday paper on an iPad is just nowhere near the experience.....especially with the comics...

    Watching leggs in pantyhose, specifically Mom and grams considering they'd have no dress or skirt on
