I got a kick out of your record player story -- it was less than a year ago that my 16-year-old asked me what, exactly, a phonograph was. He had heard of them, but never learned their function. I stared at him, stupified. And we actually have a turntable, and I use it rather often! By the way, that Compaq you had weighed 38 pounds, and probably came close to pulling you arm out of its socket. They called them portable, we called them luggable. -- Barry Hi Barbara,
You have my sympathy on the flood!

In the New Year, some of my kids (grade 4/5) at school bugged me to bring in the song, "I'm gonna wash that man right out of my hair." I did and I pulled down the ancient portable record player our school has. The looks and the questions...."What is that thing?" Amazing the difference between 1 generation and the next :) lol, I had to chuckle when you said it was the first time your daughter had seen a record player.
