I had a really nice conversation with Mark McQuilken a while back. I dont know him really; I had just contacted him about some parts. We reminisced about the old days on r.a.p...such a great, active group with excellent info and camaraderie.

I studied audio at Columbia College. Did my graduate work here on rec.audio.pro. Kids nowadays have nothing. Not even a decent newsreader. Bums me out.

I feel your pain, Pete. Not long ago I had a young (20-something) kid
argue with me about MP3 files. His assertion was that MP3's were
higher quality than his original CD copies... and that he was actually
"up-sampling" them by this conversion to the magical format. Of
course, his proof was in listening tests with his favorite ear-buds.
SMH...
How many red flags can you get in one short conversation? I miss the
old days of not only R.A.P. but music in general. Those sensibilities
might never come back. I'm done holding my breath.
