Went to the Apple Store last night.

Midnight is definitely darker than Space Black, but Space Black FAR less prone to fingerprints.

Optical illusion:

Pics below show SAME Space Black Mac from front and side.

Weird, yeah? It's the way the light hits it.

Why is it so hard to throw out old Apple boxes ;_;

An 'Edison cylinder', one of the earliest ways of recording music, and a phonograph (to play it on).

Tech from late 1800s, lived through the early 1900s.

You can find these cylinders on eBay for around $10 or so.

Gives me hope for the survival of vinyl
