2. 8 tracks were even worse
you had four recordings on each set, and you had to listen to the entire set before you could replay the song. Kids today got it easy. :D

3. How about the Ultimate Insult over Injury - an 8-Track Player
My 8 track collection was mostly classical music. Including--get this--one of them being William Tell and such played by MARIACHIS.

So there was a break-in, and the ONLY thing the punks took was the 8-track player. It was clear they had sorted through the 8-tracks themselves and chosen NOT to steal them.

A little bit off topic here, but as usual.

4. Luxury!
My first Model-T had a wax-cyliner player, but it was MONO and skipped every time we ran over a chimney-sweep!

But ya try telling that to the kids today and they won't believe ya.
