They all look alike to me. Having struggled with the old kind, I sure do
love the recording types!

Almost indispensable for digital work. Problem then becomes keeping

Everything has become so intricate and specialized, it seems there is
little room for generalists these days - particularly those with low
thresholds for boredom, a desire for breadth, and an inherent mistrust
of all blustering authority.

I hear ya there. Gotta have a real big toolbox to be a floater in
today's world.
