JDN, the sixties. Free sex, cheap drugs, cool clothes. But it also had the draft, so I'll stay here in the 1990s. <g>

JDN, Yes i am am old enough. <<Are you old enough to remember what a 1960's house looked like and the appliances it had as well as furnishings compared to a 1990's house??>> Are you asking whether or not I remember how well every was made then? How well everything worked? The quality was much better then than now. As how home size comparison....Seems rather a specious argument to me....Try comaring a 1,000' home then to one now. I know many people thaty would love to be able to buy a 1,000' home today but can't....Not enough money even with 2-3 jobs. Here's a comparison for you: A 1962 toaster has a good chance of still being functional today. I go through a "new" toaster every 2 years now because they are junk.

"But I suggest that anyone paying any attention consider if they would like to go back to the 60's." Hey JDN, I for one, am STILL living in the 60's!!! 1969 Chevelle, the original Woodstock memories, a 60's vintage electric stove that still works perfectly. (well almost, one of the indicator light is burned out), but seriously, that argument is kind of faulty, is'nt it? I mean, you know man, <g> each generation of a manufactured product is "perfect" for it's time, so to say that today's cars are better, etc, so they should cost so much more relatively speaking, is a weak argument, because you could make that kind of argument all the way back to the chariot's of ancient Rome! <g> Yogi
