Re: SDA 1A What to do now?
They cost you nothing, keep them and enjoy them. Remember do not toe (angle) them in. 4"- 6" off the back wall and a common ground amplifier only. They will kill most receivers because of their 4 ohm rating that drops into the 3 ohm area. I started with the SDA 1a to wet my appetite and moved up to the 2.3tl and have been extremely happy.

Perhaps they're still in there.... Apparently whowhatever was in there could only be let out during the next shift change, if ever. Perhaps a SWAT team was involved. I never witnessed it.)

In college I had to wait 1 to 12 hours for an operator to run my COBOL 101 job, then go halfway across campus for the printout to see if it ran without error. Wash, rinse, repeat.
(Printouts at night, when I was usually coding, were slipped halfway under the door to the mainframe room(s). Apparently whowhatever was in there could only be let out during the next shift change, if ever. Perhaps a SWAT team was involved. I never witnessed it.)

Re: You know you’re getting old when…
When you recall writing a computer program on punch cards that would then be run on a computer so large it was housed in a room the size of a small gym and your instructor said one day everyone will be walking around with a computer in their pocket....and thinking I'll never live to be that old!

Re: What are you cooking?
Here we have, steamed baby spinach, buttered with salt and pepper. Grilled fillet dipped in Italian dressing and covered with beef tallow with each flip.
