They don't make quality sounding AM radios any more. The
All American Five does not count as quality radio's let alone
them new fangled transistor stuff.
Well, to be fair, as in vintage computers, there's a "time effect".
I remember the first time that I heard FM (monophonic) broadcast
radio--I was blown away by the fidelity. I probably wouldn't think
much of the same sound now, but emotions can stay with you a very
long time. Similarly, I think the speed of a CDC 7600 mainframe
would seem glacial to me now. Memory is a funny thing.

Once you get a
modern Pentium (or whatever) PC, you'll never want to use
an 8 bit micro, or a PDP11, or... again.
So just why you are this list ;)

PS. I think the real poblem is most people have not heard
broadcast quality audio, just the low end 45's , mono LP's
and crappy CD's.
