However I also take pride in using old technology with new technology where it can enhance things. The best pictures I've taken on my Digital SLR were through classic lenses that are older than me. For a long time I used a Valve amplifier as the sound side of my then bleeding edge PC.
I love classic cars for their looks and lack of computers/power steering/stuff that gets in the way of the driving experience but I'd love to take an old car and replace some the engine/drivetrain with a nice modern reliable, ecoconomical unit. A nice 63 Zodiac with a BMW M5 drivetrain please!!!!
So I guess I'm saying dont look to dismiss "old stuff" when you can use it to enhance something new and shiny!
and Margaret, I reckon you should rent/buy a tin bath and re-enact your memory even if its just for one last time. then again the hassle of filling/emptying it etc might diminish your rose-viewed memory of the event....  |
I dont think anyone who had to endure a tin bath looks back with fond memories, I had to get it down off a nail in the back yard, there was nothing else at the time. but I dont wish to go back there. But it made me who I am today.
One day you will be saying to your kids "I can remember a time when we only had one car" and "We could only afford two holidays a year", also you dont know you are born today, hover boots, we never had hover boots, and put your jet pack back in the garage when you have finished with it.
You mark my words
