RB's recommend me a great vinyl thread!

[Nast]

What's a vinyl? I know it's a clothing material.

Otherwise, I'm completely left out of this thread.

A heavy black plastic disc, 12 inches in diameter with a single groove going round and round, in which MP3 Tracks used to be mahgickly stored. With the correct equipment, involving a small diamond, and a delicate armature arrangement, the MP3s could be coaxed out of the groove, by means of the electrical resistance in the tip of the diamond when pressure is applied as it rests in teh rotating mahgick groove. Bit like a record deck does.

This sounds like the fabled technology of the Ancients.

It is, but we keeps 'em spinning back here in teh West Country. Wax Cylinders too. Even have fat lasses playing the piano in the Pub. Singing "Knees up Muvva Brahn" and "Roll out the Barrel"
