Isn't 4.3 only a beta? VHS ;-) I like it. Another one with a sense of humour :-)
Now we really _are_ showing our advanced years lol!
My wife is a primary/elementary schoolteacher, now retired. Not too long ago she took some props along to class as part of a "looking back" module. Among them were several black vinyl 33 1/3 rpm long-playing records. The 5- and 6-year-olds had trouble understanding what they were, and finally decided they must be "big, black CDs".
Hope your wife did not discard those LPs because vinyls are now back in fashion and there is a company here in Sydney (Australia) which cannot keep up with the demand and is "pressing the plastic" at a furious rate!
(BTW, there is a very simple but effective way of cleaning old vinyls. You coat them with wood working water soluble glue, spread it with a spatula, let it dry and then peel the glue off. All the dirt comes off with the glue.
If you want a clearer understanding of this, there is a YouTube video on this.)

I've got about a hundred old LP's. CD's are good. The sound is pure(er), but for us that are old as dirt, the sound from a good record player ............... there's just something special about it. I've got a Sony turntable that plugs into my computer so I can record old records and burn to CD. Great because I can listen to the music and not put more wear and tear on the records. -- Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must. like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.-Thomas Paine _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
