Some people write on this list as if their view is the ony "right view".
We (me and my staff) operate a business ( I admit it is small ) I do not plan obsolence in the products I sell but do improve when possible. We have used the same computer (LC575 )for about 9 years - it does the lot, never crashes, never needed to be expanded. A couple of years ago we have bought a second LC575 just in case something happens but have never had to use it.
If I bought say a new Imac it would set me back about $4,800au with printer etc. I could do lots more things with the Imac but nothing that I need to do for the business. Takes 8 times as long for the Imac to start up ( I've timed it). I would have update all the files and records - quite a lot of work and time- for what?
If that's progress, then its not me.
As to vynl records yes I still have them, also 78 resins, and the means to play tem. My Kodak retinette 35mm camera still takes good pictures. Even the real cool shoes I bought in 1967 and surprise surprise they are back in style.
Vic.
Exterminate all rational thought.
