comparison?
>So what's the point? :)
My point is that things move on. It doesn't mean they
necessarily get better (they generally do), but that our
perceptions and acceptance (tolerance?) levels change as they
become more a part of our lives. I agree with you in some
respects about radios....I loved the knobs, the lights, the
dials/scales, the warmth, the glow of the filaments (and
sometimes plates), etc., in my old radios. But, I know they
can't hold a candle to the Omni VI+ that sits on my desk. In
their day, they were great--I would have killed for an SX-115,
101A, HQ-170, -180, etc., but things change. Things change for
the better. We learn new things. The sunspots come back. Life
is good.
