Do you think that would make me put down anyone who wants them? If I had one of these machines I wouldn't have to use them. Do I smell a bit of Featherweight snobbery here???? Old is old no matter what it is.
Actually this computerized featherweight has alot of metal in it. I figure the snobs have yet to try it out and probably have not even seen it.
I'm not upset with such folks. As long as it makes me happy that is all there is IMHo.
I had to chuckle at your comment about "old is old no matter what it is" and IMHO old is on the way out period and it will never come back unless you find one at an antique store/shop. Just like when we get old and can't do anymore we die and go home to be with the Lord. Same goes for old machines, they go to antique heaven.
Personally I love technology and the advances it brings us and this is an awesome machine as an antique and what it could do back than and what it can do today with computerized technology.
Let's face it we are after all in the 21st century and we live in a world full of technology and most of us do not desire to go backwards but forward and using this technology to do things better and easier than ever before.
