I agree with you about the shoes and I have a particular brand that I have a lot of faith in and will always buy them. I never have a lot of shoes though because my luggage space is precious and shoes are one of the biggest occupiers of space in there.
Speaking of the Mac OS: There was a time when one popular Linux distro converted to having the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the left-hand side like Apple does. This was the default setting in the UI and the audience hated it. It was still Linux though so of course you were only a few knowledgeable clicks away from reverting it, which most people did.
When I think about how much "junk" I used to accumulate it is pretty alarming to me. How many people out there just buy stuff for the sake of having a collection of some sort? I think most people.
I'd honestly probably fall into that latter category. I don't have nearly as much stuff as I used to, cut my record collection has always been something I have struggled with. Pumping money into something I can easily access via streaming just seems silly yet I keep doing it! That is funny about that Linux distro. I wish I had more of a development background so I could understand the coding better.
Do you actually fire up the records every now and then? I had a decent record collection when I was in my early 20's but a flood made the decision for me about my collection.
Yeah, I do. I continue to buy some here and there too. I don't listen to them as much as I would like. My setup is in the basement for wife reasons and I just don't get down there too much. I was able to save my records from our basement flood. Not the sleeves but the records are good.
