anyone remember 4 channel stereo or whatever it's called? Sort of a precursor to surround sound but only for vinyl LP's
I've seen the progression of almost every music format:

I've heard horror stories about grad student life back in the day. Your regressions had to be typed on punch cards, and there was a several month wait. To read a journal article, you had to go to the library, find it in the bookstacks, and then read it. And you couldn't even take it home or right notes in the margins. Sounds awful.

Yep, slide rules and we did learn how to use an abacus.
4 channels on the black and white tv. Morning and evening editions of the newspaper. Dad sending me to the store to buy him beer and cigs when I was 6 years old. No questions asked. |

I remember being at the Dodge dealer when my father was ordering a new car.
Standard engine was 400 2-bbl. He asked the salesman "what are the other choices?" I clearly recall the answer: "440 or hemi" 
Unfortunately we got the 400. |

Those came much later. Paper tape ruled the day ! I still have some, and at one time I knew how to read it by eye. Rolling it up and cinching it tight made a nice squeaky sound. It was oiled and came in various colors. |
