Having actually RTFA for once... I was looking at where Mark was noting his first email address.

I remember those days -- pre internet, so you had to give the route (...!ucbvax!ucscb).
We also had write (and for see as you type, "rite") on our PDP-11/70, and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why I'd use email instead of write. It took a while before I realized the value of asynchronous communication.

But yes, those were the days.

One other aspect of this is modern production regarding mixing and mastering. Music is pushed so far to the edge that drums are basically cut off at the high end and the whole thing sounds mushy.

My wife, who knows nothing about any of this beyond enjoying music, asked me one evening while we were listening to "Fat Bottomed Girls" why the drums sound so good compared to other music that we listen to. It's noticeable.
