Back in the early 1980's, I remember 20/20 showing a Tom Petty video that 
ran off either a laserdisc or perhaps a videodisc.  They were discussing 
this "new technology".  For the past many years, I've been assuming that it 
was a laserdisc, but now I actually wonder if it was one of these.  So... 
Perhaps I _had_ heard about it.  LOL

Analog...  Everything is better in analog.  Digital ruins it.  I've switched 
all of my ethernet cables back to analog, and I'm now using the analog 
internet exclusively.  I get deeper color depths which just aren't possible 
with digital 24 bit color.  Everything produces a much warmer experience. 
Streamed music is better.  Youtube looks and sounds much better.  ;-)
