Barely
I have a pile of these...and a car that still plays them...a home stereo unit that does not.

How about these....?

I remember, to name a few of mine.... Elton John, John Denver, 3 Dog Night...

Are toupees obsolete yet?

 

Has anyone seen carbon paper lately?

well, yes, but for artistic endeavors, not in the traditional sense.

 

good one.

LOVE carbon paper!!!!

Miss the smell of the mimeograph (?)...what's the name of the copier thingy we used...ink in a container and hand cranked to make copies?   If anyone says "stone & chisel"...I will hunt you down.....:->

One could almost get high on that smell....can't remember the name of the machine though.

Bob, I think you're thinking of a Ditto machine - printed purple.

Jaylee, I remember the Mimeograph machine too.

I learned how to use both machines in high school.


Oh....right.   But weren't they the same machine?

*off to find Mr. Google....he's so wonderful....*

 

Okay....what's the diff?

The Mimeograph machine used wax stencils stretched around a drum filled with ink.  A typo while preparing those wax stencils was not a good thing!

The Ditto machine used an original image of carbon-like material, and used a solvent to transfer the image to paper.  I remember the Ditto copies were purple, and yes, the solvent was smelly!
