I was determined to be prepared for the attack. Interestingly enough, the headache came but the cause was different. It all started with lov- ing music. We both became acquainted with electronic music in the days before television. They were the days when every- one gathered around the family radio to listen. They were the days when music was recorded on Decca records, 78 rpm, 33/1/3 vinyl and 45's, mini discs. My early acquaintance with strains of recorded music was; first cassettes then CDs on which every tune imaginable were encrypted. We still had the real thing, records. We also had machines that played old records. Then it happened, the turn tables quit working. Sunny, windy days have moaned and groaned over the loss of the first technology used to convey all kinds of music. Eventually various music entre- preneurs began to make duplicate turn tables that also hosted cas- sette, CD and radio. We were delighted and pur- chased not one but two, so we could have one in the mountains and one in the valley. We were happy campers for quite a while; I even took the "valley" machine to preschool so as to introduce the children to the world of "records." The first day they saw the machine and a record; they put their own name on it and called it the radio that played "really big CD's". It wasn't long until I discovered that it was eas- ier to select a song to play on a CD than it was to so very careful- For a while I ly lift the needle arm and slowly put on the right ring to play each selected song. Husband kept repeating over and over that he would like to be able to copy his classical records to a CD. We began to look for one of those machines that did all things including record- ing music from records. The price was not right for several years and we, being very frugal people rarely buy anything that is not "on sale," we wait- ed for such a sale. Finally we ran across a magic machine that pur- ported to "record old records to a CD." We passed it up the first time around and a day later decid- ed to purchase the coveted piece of technology. We couldn't get it unboxed fast enough so we could try it out. Its label was "IT," standing for Innovative Technolo- gy. The machine was encased in a duplication of the old time radio/record players. Nostalgia glistened all over it; well, most of it as it did include a remote con- trol, a turn table, a radio, a CD player, a cassette player and yes, a recording element. who already had eye glasses. It was apparent that my handy, dandy, lighted Magnifier would have to be found and applied before the words would be large enough to find out how to run this musical gadget. Needless to say we were so weary from try- ing to get the "Innova- tive Carolyn Barber with words like remote Sensor, Track Increment, LCD Display, Finalize and Erase. While typing this copy I have been listening to a vinyl record titled "Great Moments At The Grand Ole Opry". Am I record- ing from a record to a CD? Sorry to say I again have a technology headache. I am thinking that it will take another ten readings, assisted by my powerful light Magnifier to even begin to under- stand the process. machine to show us its stuff that we staggered off to bed declaring we were just too tired. We pledged to figure it out and would wait until the next day to try again. Our sleep was filled Technology" Husband did the opening of the box; I was to deal with the "technology" of the whole audio monster. Did I say monster? Yes, I did, my head began to ache as I discovered that the tuning but- tons were almost impossible to see without a spotlight shining on the various labels. Oh well, I muttered as I reached for the handy, dandy instruction booklet. The print was apparently sized to the eyes of a dust mite and almost totally unreadable for a person the innovative technology barrier without a headache, I will let future readers know.
