@rookie54 saidLet's hope you have a CD player to play them on and BTW, you better keep them in a low humidity environment otherwise the little layer of aluminum dots will be eaten away and they are just then good for target practice.
why my brain links unconnected events i'll never know,
but it does...
twenty years ago i bought several boxsets of cd's,
the doors,
the who,
jimi hendrix
smokey robinson
the beach boys
janis joplin
and some others...
i never removed the shrinkwrap, intending to hang on these for a nebulous future which i cannot see...
who knows, they may be valuable someday...
...[text shortened]...
do not remove the wrapping on yer "first ever" status,
who knows???
it may be valuable someday...
Get the old 78's, they will be good a THOUSAND years from now. And the players will be a lot easier to reproduce a thousand years from now when what passes for electronics in the future doesn't even have moving parts but is by then a carefully engineered virus injected directly into the brain, where you also get your technical training for your job of that far away future.....
So I am a Noob, only joined in 05.

@ponderable saidIf you want to be correct your date would be as indicated. If you want to be close well that is another story. Do you do this when doing the threads killed? 😉

Edit: Starnge thing happened after posting there was an empty message and I had to retype the message...
@ponderable saidI believe it is called a 'glitch'! 😉 Or you hit the wrong button on your keyboard which made the message disappear. I've done that by accident.

You've been playing chess here for almost as long as I've been alive.
Scary thought.
