use vintage systems for modern purposes, in fact, I wish more of those people
would come forward so I can write about them. However one thing I never
pretend is that vintage systems are actually "better" than today's.
You don't have to pretend. In some cases they are.
This also transcends technology. I prefer to write my to-do lists and
notes on a pad of lined paper. It doesn't require batteries and it
doesn't break when I drop it. Unfortunately, I still manage to lose it
from time to time (I just finally found it again last
night :)
