Oh I wish I had never said that...

[Martin Czech]

This was not so wrong,  back in 1990 some people were still
throwing out analog equipment. I think that the turn came
in 1993 (here), but only for some crazy people like us.
The mainstream is digital today, at least I believe so.

What makes me wonder is that synthesis methods havn't improved
very much. "what-do-I-know-what-will-be-possible then?"
didn't show up until now. Most of the gear you can buy is 
based on theoretical work from the late 70s, if  I'm not
completely wrong here.

How difficult will it be to maintain oldies in 2100?
Not that this botheres me very much, but the question
is interesting.

:::Well, it made me laugh... mainly because I thought the same too.
