An open letter to Mr. Peter Aczel
The Krooborg tries to understand human language using its Krooglish-only
headphones.
There are two issues that must be considered in any discussion of
digital media, especially music or film, of which availability is one.
The other is archivality. Kodachrome and Technicolor dye sub release
prints and vinyl phono records have an almost infinite shelf life.
Having problems forming coherent thoughts, Ronnie my boy? Here's a
much-needed news flash for you: Neither movie film not vinyl phono records
are digital media.
Arnii, even your pal Shushie has been cautioning that you're not an
idiot (as opposed to a demented old fart, which everybody knows you
are). This kind of post, however, raises the issue of how far insanity
can go in simulating idiocy.
Maybe you need to wander out into the woods on one of your pilgrimages
-- er, I mean "vacations". You know what I mean -- the breaks that
refresh you and allow you to return to your "Usenet career" nicley
relaxed.
