Oh you've got the modern stuff. We have an old 78 player and around early 100 shellac records.

Yes - 78 rpm records were obsolete by the time we got ours (~1975).
Given that you have 100 of those, may be worth a fortune today; if not with (old) music lovers, at least with auction houses

Those actually seem to be making a comeback. You should be able to get players at antique / charity shops / flea markets.

For 15 years, I have seen them advertised on Skymall, the inflight sales magazine.
Fry's in the US has them. I am sure you can find it in a local audio store or at least order one through them.

Saw a friend's kid looking at my record collection, I asked her if she knew what they are,
quote "Aren't they some kind of old fashioned DVD type thing?"

When she grows older, she'll show DVDs to young kids; wonder what they'll identify them as.

I'm young and I was one of the last of my generation to extensively use audio tapes... when all of my peers had CDs I travelled with huge bags of batteries and tapes. Then the MP3 CDs came out, and I finally had normal CDs. My peers travelled with 1-2 discs while I had big bags of CDs and batteries.
Then the pendrive Mp3s came out and I finally managed to get a MP3 CD... and so the story goes on

I was having a similar conversation with a friend the other day.
My first response was, today's 18 years olds wouldn't have been born when the Spice Girls released Wannabe.

I'm debugging an embarrassing error in IE. I won't bore you with the details, but execution of the Javascript has paused on an exception, and while paused I go to the source file, fix the bug (OK, it was a missing comma) and try and open a folder on my desktop to copy in the updated folder.
Explorer is hanging. Little swirling vortex of doom. Nothing.
I then turn off Developer Tools in IE and Explorer springs to life.
ARGHHH.
Why oh why do we have two logically distinct processes tied together so tightly that a debug break in one (an application) ties up, completely, the other (the user interface into the entire operating system).
*This* is why I don't use IE. It's a perfectly serviceable browser. I rarely get rendering issues anymore. But it kills everything in it's path and even some things safely hiding behind boulders.

Seems more a reason not to develop "web apps".
|
|

I actually really love web apps. I'm not sure I could go back to desktop.

Yeah, these web developer have an obnoxious "why don't you use a web app for that" attitude towards everything!
But really, why would I!?!?!
|
|
|
|
|
As the time goes by, these "web apps" are going to become "Google apps"...
|

NO! IE must not die. I have to use some websites regularly that work only with IE (7,8,9).
|
|
|
|
|
It always amazes me that there are sites that require IE7 to work. I can understand "requires IE" for when they use non-standard (ha!) Javascript, but I can only imagine they are using ActiveX or something Unnatural Unto This Earth for that requirement.
cheers
