Hello Phil - 

--8<--cut 

PM> Yes, forgot about that. And still being used, according to
PM> someone I know who recently visited. Going way back, I
PM> remember the imported paper toys post World War II, before
PM> plastic took over. And what is that game or skill of
PM> folding paper: origami? or something like that word. 

I discovered Origami as a child and when I practice I am quite
good at it. I used to make a seal with a cube balanced on his
nose from the paper placemats and leave them in restaurants for
the waitreses. They seemed to enjoy collecting them (birds,
flowers, and other animals too). 

PM>> commercial-type run-of-the-mill CDs having -less- range on
PM>> the sound spectrum than the old vinyl records, but as I
PM>> say I may be mistaken. I think also mentioned was a
PM>> superior type of CD that had greater range, that was
PM>> coming or was already out on the market. 

>> With CDs using zeros and ones the range limitations are

PM> In that case, it won't make any difference to me -- having
PM> left childhood long ago. Not that I myself notice any
PM> difference. My record collection being pretty old and worn,
PM> the CDs actually sound much better. 

My brother copied some very old 78 rpm records to CD using
Roxio's v5 Platinum and it's built in noise reduction. They are
_perfect_ with no hissing or any audible imperfections. Very
nice. Now I want him to do the Vienna Waltz record collection
my mother still has. :-)
