Think maybe the greatest loss when/if LPs disappear is the format of the cover. You cant fit A4 pictures of John, Paul, George and Ringo into a CD cover, can you?

I got rid of it maybe six or seven years ago, but wish I'd kept it because of its historical significance. Some original specs:

Intel 8088 4.7 MHz processor
264Kb Ram
Hard drive - none
Original selling price: ~ $3,000 (I got mine used for far less)

Technology moves on. My parents' first record player was an old radiogram. Wooden cabinet, lift up lid, valves. Now I have a hi-fi attached to my PC and a CD player on the desk.

You've got to hand it to those old guys - using antique kit they still managed to get their stuff recorded and out to a wider market. And it sounded good.

Famous misquote

Although Watson is well known for his alleged 1943 statement: "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers," there is no evidence he ever made it. The author Kevin Maney tried to find the origin of the quote, but has been unable to locate any speeches or documents ofWatson's that contain this, nor are the words present in any contemporary articles about IBM. The earliest known citation is from 1986 on Usenet in the signature of a poster from Convex Computer Corporation as "I think there is a world market for about five computers" — Remark attributed to Thomas J. Watson (Chairman of the Board of International Business Machines), 1943.
