Just wait and watch radio fans kick off if FM radio is turned off in a few years time

They still service Nakamichi cassette decks. Thinking of picking up a reel to reel or a tape deck one day.

When I moved onto the boat, I gave away all of my CDs and records. And I would have been happy with just a radio, but I felt my nerd side coming out and couldn't resist a tinker.

So I now have a low power, fanless computer and an 8" touchscreen I had knocking about not doing anything. So I've installed Linux on the low powered computer, along with Wine, so it will run Spotify and play my MP3 collection like a jukebox but with all of the technical bits hidden inside an old wooden clock case. You can see the screen through the clock case, and the screensaver is a clock, so it keeps its original function, too.

I reckon it's everything I'd ever want. But I don't really want it. Really, I did it to learn about touch screens. I think I would still be happy just having the radio, and I'd waste less time. I just don't think it's possible to value music when you have so much of it for free.

I don't think I could agree more.
The more you have the more you want, then you realise that you had it before!
The desire function comes into its own, I want HD, got it.
My TV's aren't big enough for HD, get them too.

What do I have now, a big Telly! Yippee!
The problem(?) is even worse with some things pluggin into iPods but nothing else, mobile phones that take multitude of chargers or ram cards except the one you have etc.

Consumerism will die down and we will be left with things actually we want and less choice. Bah Humbug.
