Now that Emily is into music and acquiring a collection of her own, I suddenly felt all nostalgic when I realised how different her music collection is to mine. I don't mean the music itself, but the physical collection. I have shelves full of LP records, cassettes, CDs and even mini discs which I still add to from second hand shops, charity shops, boot sales etc. Emily on the other hand has a file on this computer, and the same songs on her ipod. I used to enjoy the feeling of achievement at saving my pocket money, or paper round money and buying an album, walking home with it and reading the sleeve notes, and taping it. All Emily has to do is click the mouse a few times and she's got songs a plenty.
Progress eh?
