[78-L] Sorta speaking of LP sleeves

[joe@salerno.com]

If you've wandered thru an electronics store recently, you may have been 
struck by the number of turntable models on the shelf. If Fry's, Best 
Buy, Circuit City and the like are selling these things, there must be a 
market. These kinds of stores do not cater to collectors. They aren't 
necessarily so well made, or they certainly don't appear that way to me, 
lightweight, flimsy plastic, some of them, and USB connections for the 
computer, but they are there on the shelf, and I assume going out the 
door. None have a 78 rpm speed. I don't think we need to worry about a 
return of our fav recod speed in the near future.
