Wow This above link is much better than waiting for the youtube to play through. 

 

Then also thought's return to back in time when thumbing through a catalog was a eye-opening, thought provoking, wishfull thinking, time-consuming thing to do.  Now we have movies of those same catalog's to watch through like an ( LP album ) - like the video above...  

 

Now in the future here; digitally !! ??? we can Save time to get to exactly just what we are looking for whilst passing up most other nessarities most need but maybe cannot afford in this catalog

http://retrofinds.blogspot.com...e-1984-personal.html

and then somebody digitized that catalong to where you could just zip to the desired page without having to thumb through all before to get to the section or page you desire...  this catalog Reminds me of the Sears & RoeBuck Catalog's of the long ago past; we were always excited when the Xmas catalog arrived in the mail...

 

is like having to play an album all the way through - past time

Presently every thing is digital and very fast

 

Why are we saving time for?

 

ok now that we have Hurried up and got everything done ( digital )- now what ??

 

analogue forever... taking our time .... we'll get there
