        Oh NO, not at all Andy... Because if we believe
        all the nostalgic banter, then we would realize
        radios were so much better in days gone by, as if
        radio is on a reverse technological drift, where
        Collins stuff was the best ever, tubes ruled, and
        every since the 1960s, everything has continually
        degraded in quality and utility.
