Sometimes being older than dirt can work to your advantage.
Case-in-point: The folks at Audio Technica just sent us their new turntable to play with. And, being older than dirt, we happen to have an extensive collection of what were once called “vinyl records” (or LPs) collecting dust on a shelf in the basement. Yes, I know vinyl is making a comeback, but it spared us the expense of overpaying for new LPs.

A millennium ago, we were visiting a small computer company in Round Rock, TX, with a storage client (there were a lot of storage companies in those days) to understand exactly what features/capabilities met their needs in the systems they sold.
The VP of marketing was ready with all the ammunition he needed to walk away from the meeting with a nice fat contract.
Take it with You
Think you can’t take it with you? Well, the folks at Como Audio beg to differ.
They have developed a new Amico portable speaker ($399) that can either expand an existing Como Audio network or be taken on road trips to deliver superior sound away from home.

A few years ago, my wife and I were walking down a street in Zihuantanejo (Mexico) when a VW bug stopped in the middle of the street. A gentleman jumped out of the car and ran over to us, hollering in delight.
It was a waiter from one of our favorite restaurants; and having just arrived, we hadn’t been to see him…yet.
He insisted we come over to the car and meet the family (all six of them), including their 6-month-old.
