I took a few audio production classes in college where we learned to edit reel to reel tape. Do they still do that anymore, or is it all digital?

Doesn't everyone drink their ovaltine in their Capt. Midnight mug.? Ovaltine was chocolate granules that you mixed with milk and the sponsor of the Capt. midnight show. Still watch the serials of the 30's and 40's and have almost all that werever made. I can relate to all of them.

Here is another link to the past.

Radio Stations still have them as back ups, but mostly everything now is digital.

I remember all of them! I have my Erector set (and my dad's from his childhood), and I still have a Brother AX-22 typewriter that I bought in February 1989.
