    There's no "theme." It's meant to be played out your front porch to annoy, er, entertain any trick or treaters coming to your house.

    Well you see, Buddy-O. That microphone input. Would be more appropriate. From something like a desktop, Push to Talk, communication microphone. This way. You can speak over the programming. Interrupt the programming. And when released. Goes back to the programming. Or just phase the programming under. When you push to talk. I reckon. So that whoever is listening. Wherever they are in the house. Dinner is Ready. Or the Dog needs to go Out for a Walk. Etc., etc. Or? Attention Walmart Shoppers. For folks out in the parking lot. Listening to the Walmart Radio Network Loop, programming. With their old-fashioned, classic cuts, format. So there's never a song you don't know. That makes it so much easier to pick out and purchase, more stuff. It is their own radio network. And you can get it online. I would imagine? Though, I have never tried. It won't be long now. Before Walmart, Target and others are staffed with Robotic Sales Executives. They will answer your questions and understand your, consternation. And then eject you from the premises. Forever. You won't make it past the front door, again. As facial recognition technology works great! There will be no more minimum-wage entry-level jobs. There will be no more doughnut makers. No more hamburger flippers. No more bathroom cleaning to do. What's everybody going to do, then? We won't need any truck drivers. That's for sure. Nobody can stay awake behind the wheel long enough anymore. It's better to order a Lamborghini. Then tickets to the Circus. You just wave your credit card wherever you go! And purchase multiple items of the same thing at the same time. At checkout. Without knowing. Since it reads all of your cards. You don't have to waive or swipe anything. You merely have to be passing through. Needing to go to the bathroom, desperately. We are in for a wacky ride. In years, to come. As everybody loses their jobs. And the wealthier get wealthier still yet more. And everybody else is up out of work. And thrown in jail because they are now homeless. And it is, all their fault! They should have been wealthy. They didn't want to be, wealthy. George Orwell's 1984? Anybody? RemyRAD

    I'd really like to see someone trying to refurbish a CD which is unplayable due to disc rot. It's impossible with DVDs, especially with double layer ones, but in theory, it might be possible with CDs as long as the polycarbonate base is not deteriorated. Wash off the backside varnish with a solvent that doesn't attack polycarbonate, etch away the aluminium/silver refletive layer, vacuum deposit a new layer of aluminium onto it, cover it with varnish, and try to play it. This would be just a curiosity, if someone finds a CD 200 years from now, which will almost certainly be unplayable from disc rot, will they have any chance to make it playable again, or that material will be lost forever if no other sources of it will be available in archives? Of course finding a working CD player 200 years from now will probably be impossible, but if they find a bunch of music on rotten CDs that they don't have in any other form, they might just rebuild / custom build a CD player from scratch for that purpose.

    U-Matic was usually an epitaxial formula tape that was always prone to shedding. Hence frequent video head cleanings were necessary during normal use. I worked many years ago at a TV statin that, when I first went to work with them, the station was U-matic, throughout. On-air playback, dubbing, satellite acquisition, the works. Over time we went through loads of head cleaning cloths and isoprophial alcohol and countless blown spots and make-goods thanks to head clogs. The very day we got Betacart that TV station started to get some real sales.
