...they keep going well for a while, they say. I have a couple of dozen old vinyl LPs picked up here and there on the prospect, sooner or later, of buying a turntable and being able to enjoy them. So yesterday I found that someone had thrown away a turntable and a cassette deck, apparently a part of an old-fashioned hi-fi apparatus, and apparently in good condition. I haven't tested the cassette deck yet, but I just hooked up the turntable to a little radio-cassette recorder I had, and - after a little struggle with the commands, which were not completely clear - out came the sound of Haydn and Bach, as perfect as you could wish.

I feel even a bit nostalgic. I learned music from vinyl, after all, before anyone had thought of CDs.
