A 3D printer!? I'm going to have to get to my library. A guy from work told me you can take out CD's too !!!
My dad used to also take out DVDs and VHS tapes!
I'll have to donate my VHS collection
I still have 3 working VHS players (all Sony I think)

Yes, I was on a library computer and my time was just about to run out I sure hope libraries don't become "obsolete"...they're just about my favorite places Sur Steven, I enjoyed learning about your work history, too. Thanks for sharing so much about it.

Thanks Susy! Libraries are very cool! All kinds of information and it is fun interacting with everyone.

Didn't libraries always have CDs? I used to always check out CDs before we could just download Youtube videos. I don't know about VHS tapes. I think I read something about them in history class.

SusyLuvsPaul:
Glad you did ! Look forward to reading it, am about to get kicked off but I will later. I don't see why they would delete it unless it's porn, which it isn't, I'm sure.
Nancy R:
Well, shoot, I'm not going to read it then!
You never know. Is that the winking one? I can't really tell. It looks like Jack in the Box without the hat.

Yes, that is what love2travel posted (above) about the CDs. Now, they didn't always have them since they weren't produced until 1982! Most people didn't buy them until around 1985-1987 since at first they were pretty expensive.

So...staying off topic...lol... With you guys talking cds...I just read some interesting facts about vinyl. In 1977 344 million vinyl albums were sold. In 2006 0.9 million were sold (bottom) In 2015 16.9 million were sold & are making a comeback. Of sorts.

Of course the trend is to put all information onto chips in the cloud. With nothing physically tangible for us to enjoy unless we print it out on a 3D printer! I like my vintage vinyl... There is a place for it all!
-
There's a bookstore not too far from my apartment that has a large collection of vinyl, including all Beatles albums and a box set of every Lennon album. The funny thing is, not only are the vinyl albums far more expensive than CDs, but I don't know of a single place around here where anyone can buy a record player.

That's what online shopping is for!

The irony is that you have to buy something online to complete the old school package.

I might have some more work Won't discuss it...don't want to jinx it

I need a new job, it is the most insane job right now... It's like my boss is Trump and he HATES Democrats. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack and was going to call an ambulance. What is wrong with these nut job bosses. Major Trump like bullying... If I could only go back in time and tell myself to get a different job. :

I hope you have other sources of income (401k, 403b, pension or something) besides Social Security! If you do, don't take SS until you are at least 66 and however many months it is for you. I plan to wait until I'm 70 to get the maximum payout (assuming I will live a long life like my mom - still with us at 86, dad - lived to just shy of 90, mom's dad - 97, and dad's dad - 102!)

Don't be afraid to jinx it. Create your own superstition. Hopefully, I didn't just steal from Stevie Wonder lyrics.

It's never too late to get a new job. Unless you want to play for the NBA. Trump doesn't hate extremely rich Democrats.
