I do HOPE that we have some members here who know some magic, as I don't know much about magic myself. I do like to listen to this kind of magic however.

Can we COPE with a discussion of Glam Rock?

janusz · 23 Oct 2012, 04:48 AM

Is a discussion of rock styles the CORE activity of EMD?

n5bb · 23 Oct 2012, 10:33 AM

Do you CARE if my answer is in the form of a question?

David · 23 Oct 2012, 12:03 PM

If you DARE to ask a lawyer why they always answer a question with a question, they will likely answer: do I?

I wonder if Super DAVE Osborne (Bob Einstein) could make a superhero appearance and make us all smile.

SusanUKF · 24 Oct 2012, 08:35 PM

I remember him; and how we use to RAVE at how great those television specials were.

I have a VHS tape of his greatest moments still! hehe

This technology is becoming increasingly RARE.. Can you still play the tape?

David · 8 Nov 2012, 10:25 AM

FARE thee well, old fashioned VHS tape technology. If you fare as the old 78 rpm records (which are now in rare supply) you will succeed indeed, again - exponentially - as before.

FATE laughs at probabilities (Edward Bulwer-Lytton)

I am running LATE here but another line of thought is that one should laugh at one's problems, as everyone else does.

A little corny no doubt

Our stress RATE would probably be increasingly lower if we were in fact capable of doing this!

In regards to the VHS: we have 5 VHS VCR's in working order in our house( we have several hundred tapes for them); 3 working DVD players(probably have about 100 of these movies), my *stereo* system is a Sony *ghetto blaster* that my parents bought me in 1984, that plays cassettes (which I have tons of), I own about 200 Vinyl records; however, at the moment I do not possess a record player.

We also have 6 Computers in the house, 3 running Windows 7, 2 running Windows XP, and one running Linux-Ubantu version. I do not possess a cell phone, nor does my husband, two of our kids do, but they pay for them themselves. Sooooo-- we are using ancient technology still! The reasons are: for financial reasons (mostly), holding on to things that work(frugality), and having 5 kids and me being a homemaker has just made me of the mindset, well if you have something that works and doesn't need replacing, why replace it! We still have the old-fashioned televisons too, not flat screens(we had one but was my son's when he moved out he took it with him). Two of our computers have the very large old-fashioned monitors too! Hehe!

It's nice to see folks who do not participate in the technology RACE (by choice or otherwise)

David · 11 Nov 2012, 12:02 AM

I have to go out and RAKE leaves today (with a rake) - it would be nice to have some more recent technology

n5bb · 11 Nov 2012, 09:30 AM

Most of my hand tools are 25 to 30 years old, so I can MAKE do with old things. But I no longer use slide rules, typewriters, or vacuum tubes on a daily basis.
