But remember how cool we all used to think that thing sticking out of O'Hura's ear was and wished we could have one instead of using a Communicator? mmm.. and to think we have the option of which one to use now...

If you love old stuff (not necessary electronics) in Romania most of people will laught of you. Some idiots even gave me add on yahoo messenger to sworn me because I like good old things. Usually I don't have problems with the people who likes new things, but it seems they have a problems with me.

I wished that people here would love old things too - even that they are not Made in Romania or the former Eastern Block. But we have one exception: second-hand cars - but here is also about the price. Talking about cell phones, mynes are about 5-6 yrs. old. The only thing that bothers me abot them is that they don't ring so loud-so somtimes when I'm on the street or riding public tranpsortation I can't hear them - and I can't block some phone numbers in order thhat people can't call me. An BIG Off-topic: in the factory near the high-school that I learned was a computer repair shop where they had a lot of old computer components: keybords from the '80's, magnetic tape for computer memory, 386 type computers, computer monitors from the early '90's, 5.25" F.D.D., Romanian made desktop electronic calculators. Because they where forced to moved they dumped all those things...  And omse people would have comite murder to have those things... In Romanian, schools, high-schools, univeristyes, state owned companies can't sell the old computers. They must destroy them. The people who are ruling Romania shoul be imprisioned for a long time and theyr's belongings should be confiscated, because they did almost nothing good for the country.

A few things to remember about plastic:
1. Most of it is made from oil, which is getting less cheap all the time. 2. Most of it cannot be re-cycled filling up our landfills. Almost all metal can be re-cycled. 3. There are many applications where metal was used in the past and worked far better than the present plastic that is used-car hubcaps, car radiators, etc. I speak from experience-my 1978 Mustang radiator lasted 25 years, the hubcaps are still the originals. On my wife's car, the plastic hubcaps and radiator began failing at 5 years. I do not think the weight difference is enough to justify this kind of crap. Many times, US industry takes a very short term view. Plastic may seem cheap in the short term, but will actually turn out to be more expensive for the consumer and society as a whole long term. This said, the most irritating use of plastic to me is it's use in packaging. You have to practically cut the packaging off, and then it goes straight to a landfill-what a waste. Cardboard would work just as well and could be re-cycled.
