Aahh man, FF! We must be the last two surviving "pack rat" dinosaurs still roaming the earth who refuses to discard electronic devices used during the decades of the '60's through the '80's which have shelf life and will STILL work quite efficiently. I still have an old VCR in storage in the event that my existing VCR/DVD player goes "belly up" so that I can still watch the many old sporting events I have "taped" dating back to when VHS's first arrived back in the late '70's {was it?}. Guess I'm too lazy to convert to DVD's! Those initial VHS machines were huge and with little or no plastic content, you could acquire a hernia just lifitng them. I remember trying to get my original one repaired many years later after they began using mostly plastic parts and the dude said that all it could be used for now was a boat anchor. Yeah, I still have a lot of my 8 tracks and record albums, although I could kick myself for selling my old turntable years ago. We also use a land line and I have a cell phone, however, I seldom have need for it. And yes, another invention will soon cause the current electronical gadgets to become obsolete. Old school, rocks

It took me the longest time to finally start buying CDs.
And I was confused for awhile too. I kept calling them ABs or EFs.
Still waiting for someone to give me a player.
(LOL J/K)
I don't have an ipod, never will, but I do need to replace my AB, I mean CD walkman time to time.
IMHO the cover "art" on CDs is mostly, well, crappy.
Unfortunatly when they shrunk the size from LPs album covers to CD pictures I think a lot of the quality got lost.
They no longer have a need to show details or cool hidden pictures and stuff.
If Sgt. Peppers came out today, no way would they have all those famous figures in there.
Album covers gave the band and/or the graphic artist a bigger canvas to explore and express on.
