Likewise, I knew my old cars, motorcycles, and to a lesser extent, bicycles, but nobody else did. I not only knew what a reel-to-reel was, but how to use one; nobody else did. Most people never look beyond what's in their immediate world - after all, how many of you are knowledgeable about things from 20 years before you were born? I am, but I'll bet I'm in the minority even here.....
