Just imagine. Keith Richards will live forever! Since the telecaster was invented before I was born, I can't say I saw that, but I was alive for the birth of stomp boxes in the 60's, ovation, four track cassette recorder, adamas, solid state amps and the Parker Fly. As to computery stuff for recording I don't use it. | ||

Your cell-phone is smarter than all the computers that they used on the Apollo spacecraft. Forget going to the Library, if for some reason I need to know something I can just 'google' it. Then be annoyed that I get 2,000 answers when I only wanted one. BUT! We've lost all those good hand-drawn Saturday Morning Cartoons! :mad: [no... The Cartoon Network Sux and is not a substitute for Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam!] | ||

Did any of the science fiction writers predict that they would convert sound and video into digits and reduce the size into something microscopic? Film will soon be gone, just like records and tapes. | ||
