Neville you asked (above) “when did i romanticize the 60s?”
hark back to page 1:
QUOTE: With all due respect, what was called “Orthodox” in your youth was just a misnomer. There were shuls without mechitzas that identified as Orthodox in the 50s/60s. That’s not an era that we should be romanticizing.
and so i responded to that:
“I for one don’t romanticize any era, because I see the shtick that goes on these days too. yada yada”
On 2nd thought – oh for simpler days when 4 bucks could buy you a case of 4oz. snack-bags rather than a measly bag of 4oz. snacks. Though I don’t even recall for sure if there were 4oz. snack-bags back then! And no AI (which even makes IT guys’ blood run cold) and no GPS which misguidedly directs cars to wrong sides of big buildings.
P.S. to the last poster, i like aged interfaces, depending how they were designed when they were “young”. I never liked the YW interface from squat, least of all its limitations, but also i’ve barely anything in common with most people online and off. BTW i do =not= like aged-wine or aged-cheese nor young-wine or young-cheese.
