    -d,
    
    I think the timing of the system was delightful!

    Readers,
    
    Yes, -d was able to delete the original 572.0, even if he didn't
    know it.
    
    Then I replaced his replacement title.

    I *want* to buy LP's and tape them to listen to in the car.
    (Delete) CD's and phooey on buying casettes, I don't have a 
    dual cassete deck, so I can't make tapes the way I like them.
    I don't want to buy more gear, I don't like walking into a 
    'record store' with no (unprintable) RECORDS!!

    "Call me a relic call me what you will
    Say I'm old-fashioned say I'm over the hill..."
    
    Sigh. Now I'm quoting Seeger, and I don't even _like_ the guy...

    I hate call-waiting.  It's just a new way to be rude on the phone.
    
    An alternate interpretation, it's just a way for AT&T to make more
    money on long-distance calls.  ("hold on, okay!"click! tick tick tick
    goes the l-d $meter.  Grrrrrr, go I.)

    
    I agree, Dana.  I refuse to be forced into purchasing CDs.  I like
    LPs better.  I like the look of them and the feel of them and the 
    size of them.  I like taping them.
    
    My preference for grungy music is meant to be heard on albums.  My
    love of old bohemian record stores are precisely that -- *record*
    stores.  The sentimentality is irreplaceable.  You just can't put
    the Velvet Underground or Birthday Party on CD.
    
    In addition to not owning, nor knowing how to operate, a CD player,
    I also do not own a microwave, answering machine, or home computer,
    and if there's anything else modern that everyone has that I don't,
    I'm so removed that I'm not even aware of it.
    
    Oh yeah, I also prefer old cars, such as old Chevy's and Fords from 
    the 50's.

    RE: .4
    
    
    		YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

    I don't own a CD player, or an answering machine, or a home computer, I
    also hate call waiting, I don't have cable TV, and my roommate owns a
    microwave but I never use it because it seems like too much trouble.

    VINYL FOREVER!!!!!!!
    
    As one who grew up with vinyl, I love the way a piece of vinyl feels,
    and I love cover art.
    
    Nowadays, many of the independent label are issuing colored vinyl which
    is way cool.
    
    And I just shelled out $15 for an imported copy of an album that was
    only released on CD domestically.
    
    Lisa/about 300 of them maybe more
    

    
    Oh, is this my kind of note!
    
    First, I agree with Sara about call-waiting -- rude and tacky,
    with *some* exceptions (for my parents, anyway (-: ).  My parents
    have recently weened the last teenage kids who would spend *hours*
    on the phone with my Dad missing important business calls.  Much
    cheaper for them to get call-waiting than a second phone.
    
    You know you're not a 90s kind of person when ...
    
    You refuse to own a television set, let alone a VCR or big screen
    (yup, no TV in my house!).
    
    You refuse to buy, or even *look at*, neon yellow, pink, and
    green ski suits - barf! (Grey/blue wool/pile is just fine with
    me, thanks.)
    
    You think 'Nintendo' is some kind of martial art.
    
    You're not sure who the Nelson twins are or why some womannoters
    act like they'd walk off the end of the earth for them.  (I mean,
    they're just a couple of guys, right?)
    
    You think men, in general, look better with beards than without.
    

    When your car still has a distributer and carborator.
    
    When you haven't refilled your daytimer for 3 years.
    
    When you still have pulse dialling on the phone and no bells or
    whistles.
    
    When your answering machine consists of the five-year-old answering the
    phone with "hello?  mommy doesn't talk to phone solicitors or pond
    scum.  Are you a friend?"
    
    When your microwave has only a dial, no heat settings and no carosel.

    
    my dear carla, if you want to increase your classical collection,
    you are welcome to any of my lps 
    
    

    
    REALLY?
    
    Yowza!
    
    You'll have to give me directions to your home again, the last time
    I was there, it was dark, and it was our post-redneck tavern crawl.
    Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance!
    
    Lookin' for Dvorak in all the right places,

    don't get too excited...you'l have to wait as i replace them with
    you-know-whats. but for starters, there's some haydn symphonies
    and opera excerpts.....
    

    >You think men, in general, look better with beards than without.
    
    No, no, no, Ellen, didn't you know?  Beards are Back In.  Clean-shaven
    went out with the 80's...the 90's are the decade of very short,
    neatly-trimmed Yuppie beards.  All the boomer's have 'em.  (The male
    ones, anyway.)
    
    D!

I do have a CD player and VCR, but no answering machine, computer, call waiting
or other phone feature.  No microwave either.  And no close trimmed beard.  Mine
is rather bushy.

    I love CD'S!

>>>        I love CD'S!

    ... particularly if the interest rate is high enough ...

    are trendy comic books 80's or 90's?
    

    I still use a fork to stir ingredients when I cook, rather than using
    any of the overabundant appliances that some consider critical to a
    kitchen.
    
    But that's my choice!  (No problems if the power goes out either!)
    
    
    Judi
    

    I dice vegetables with a knife and cutting board.  Both
    are hardware store standard issue, not Japanese or French 
    chef.  I beat eggs with an eggbeater - one of those 
    mechanical devices with a little handle that you crank to
    make the beaters go round.  Your grandmother probably had
    one.
    
    I refer to the black hi-tech components in the living room
    as my "radio", or my "record player", depending on which
    function I intend to use.  That's not even 80's!!
    
    I push buttons on devices to make them go on and off.  The 
    remote controls that came with the devices don't work, and I 
    don't get them fixed.  I open the garage doors manually.  I turn
    the thermostat down every night and turn it up again when I get
    up.  My only burglar alarm is a 135 pound dog - and neighbors who 
    are around all day.

    context.
    
    Don't possess a lifestyle.
    
    have little or no lower back pain

    It bothers you to go out and leave the house running.  (Washer,
    dryer, diswasher, two VCRs programmed, plant lamp on a timer,
    maybe a file printing...)

    re .26, I'm sure you have some 20th century guns hanging about,
    though...:-)

    > maybe pharting in their general direction if some of 
    > them didn't have their heat-seeking missles and flame-throwers!
    
    Is that because, since they do, eagles might truly be hoist with their own
    petard?
    
    aq, who just today found out the dictionary meaning of "petard"  ;)
    

When you know what "hoisted by his own petard" really means :-)

When you plan on keeping a car well past 2 years.

You don't have, nor really want, a terminal at home.

and books and radio is prefered over tv.

    I'm the last holdout for "no voicemail," at least around here.
    
    ed

    Your favorite groups are the Chad Mitchell Trio and Ian and Sylvia.
    
    Thank god Joan Baez is still around...
    
    

    my favorite group is the Weavers

    What is voicemail? :-}

    you've never seen "the Simpsons", and you don't care
    you hate the one episode you've ever seen of "thirtysomething"
    
    You think you're getting a busy signal instead of a dial tone when you
    pick up your phone to make a call and Voicemail signals that you have a
    message (actually this was my sister-in-law, but could easily have been
    me in the same circumstances)
    
    Sara
    

    I'll never be a person of the nineties because of a high resistance
    to trendiness.... I like what I like.
    
    Many famous T.V. shows and movies have come and gone, and I've never
    seen them. And, don't care. I do like call-waiting, it is extremely
    practical, not rude. Answering machines have been a way of life out
    here for years and years; I get angry when people don't have them.
    
    I love music, though, and I will soon be forced into that C.D. purchase
    as the vinyl disappears......

	You hang up the phone when the other end has call waiting
and you have no idea what happened.     Kb

* No call waiting (just three separate lines :-))

* No cable TV, one TV set, Beta VCR (and laserdisc player :-))

* No TV Guide (just GBH (PBS) magazine)

* Never saw the Simpsons, 30-something, Married with Children, LA Law, etc...

* Don't care :-) (as was previously said...)

    Me, too, and damn proud of it!

    re .49 sorry! but my handwriting is illlegible due to mostly
    using a keyboard. Hmm, maybe I _am_ a 90's person...

    re .49:
    
    you could say that of any generation since the twenties (prior to that
    typed letters were too rare to count).
