Whoops- I think I have uploaded it.
Vinyl is better than CD's.
decades ago (i was there) we turned a fork in the road, and there is no going back at this point.
i lamented the loss of analog computers (look it up on google or whatever) and the switch to the convenience of digital (not to be denied - extremely convenient and productive). . . mostly because analog keeps you close to the physics of stuff and digital reinterprets the physical world for you and then decodes it in a simulation of what the real (analog world ) was in the first place.
we are probably approaching to the point now that younger directors, who started off on low-budget digital projects, don't actually have any experience with film. If Hollywood abandons film completely, that could have some real consequences for what remains of the film industry.

yeh . . . you're right, digital is better.
yes, after reading your last reply, I realized that I should have said "Digital computers are easier to use." (Like modern digital cameras with "scene modes".) Writing the computer code is, and always has been, not easy work. The same must be true for the folks who code the chips in our cameras . . . they are the guys doing all the thinking for us !
Many things are easier to program too nowadays. Look at the programming of Apps for iPhone etc. Sometimes it's really good to abstract away all the technical stuff from the programmers.
When you value the medium over the content it may be time to examine just what it is you are really interested in.

An iPhone is a glorified Palm Pilot 1000. Neither can really multi-task. Not because of hardware but because of the software.
The flip side of that coin is the processing power of a modern Mac or PC is orders of magnitude higher than that of two decades ago, but it takes just as long to display a print preview. And yet, there isn't really much more that needs to take place. It's just done sloppier and with more needless overhead.
You want a faster computer, a bigger hard drive. But at the end of the day, tasks take just as long and drives are just as full, everything is just less efficient.
