the old days
Remember when widget commonly meant a generic product and NOT a small piece of software? What are econ teachers using now instead?
I also kind of miss when you would play music to death and you could see the physical effects/degredation. That DK tape with the worn off letters and the snaggly bit near “Holiday in Cambodia.” While this is silly from a preservation standpoint, I kind of miss seeing the physical effects of loving music so much. The Smiths section of my hard drive will never outwardly show more wear than the other parts.

Luckily all my Smiths albums have been uploaded from old tapes, so they retain their worn-out, stressed, and overloved quality.

Indeed…I’m also sorry to see “The Velveteen Rabbit” being pushed towards becoming obsolete by the digital age.
