    Nobody makes 2-track mono anymore, everything is quarter track. My tapes were recorded on 2-track mono heads in the 1950's, before quarter track was invented. Crutchfield doesn't carry reel-to-reel tape recorders as far as I can tell. A website search for reel-to-reel, and the synonymous "open reel," returned nothing. Ebay remains the best source for refurbished decks. Thanks.

    The fact that it was first presented at a prestigious conference might even enhance a reviewer's interest your paper. "Hmm, he presented there? Let's see what he had to say..."

    It's even harsher than that. Should they do something illegal in the next 20 years, the prohibition period jumps from 20 years to 30! Rough justice, I say.

    "One commentator suggests the RIAA should at this juncture just say, 'Thanks Jammie, we've had all we can get out of you and caused you enough grief -- pay us $1 and we'll forget about it.'" Sure, that would be reasonable if this were only about Jammie. Let us not forget these beasts are also in the business of wrecking their victims' lives so as to make an example for others.

    Very true. One need only think reel-to-reel audio tapes. Try finding a deck to play them other than refurbished units on Ebay. I'm currently converting my tapes to lossless audiofiles and storing them on an external HDD. Then back ups of that.

    Anyone who has seen the post nomination interviews and is honest knows this guy doesn't have the brains to pass a blood test much less successfully run for office. The whole thing stinks to high heaven. The one bright spot: the Democrat who lost to him is calling for an investigation.

    Taste is in the buds of the beholder. But there's a far greater concern than flavor when nanofoods are ingested. They may taste better going down but WHAT the hell are they doing to us on the cellular level?? Don't presume the answer because NO ONE knows.

    Grain (not corn!)-fed, grass grazing cows, no antibiotics, no hormones and VOILE! you've got your REAL US Prime steak back. Just try to find cows raised like that though. It is available from organic farms but most of us are not lucky enough to live near one. Some farms will ship the meat frozen but the whole process is frightfully expensive. But like you, I remember that fabulous taste.
