You make a good point. But, our modern society doesn't work that way, and we are programmed and conditioned to respond to various words that trigger and form our buying and living habits. Ie: Free, New, Improved. Plus youth and young is in, getting old is out. It takes a special person to resist today's hype and propaganda which is why the CR group is so successful, enabling so many like minded people to have communication and bonding by appreciating the efforts of so many skilled artisans in past and present years. The overwhelming majority of technology from the past is being copied, improved and refined. Fewer items are really brand new. Dale's site lets us not forget and is a teacher and repository for future generations to refer to and appreciate. It's difficult to know where your going if you don't know where you've been. The marques you speak are part of this great picture. Ted Ernst Palos Verdes Estates, CA
