There is absolutely no doubt that old is cool. I'm currently selling off a ton of stuff from my grandparent's house that dates from the 1970's thru 1920's. I've held on to this stuff long enough and there are collectors who truly appreciate it more than I do, and I'm getting my garage back in the process.

Today I made my 1990's vintage electric guitar recording equipment obsolete by downloading and running GNUguitarINUX. It's a linux debian distro dedicated to guitar playing; it has recording multi-track, drums, synth, and every effect for guitar I have stored in my studio.

It's especially cool because it fits on a usb thumb drive and does everything my analog stuff did and more and it's entirely free.

So, old stuff is cool, and so is new stuff. Ain't life grand!

I worked with a guy who bought a house in Mt. Airy, NC (Mayberry) from a sister whose sister had passed. The two sisters bought two houses side by side and furnished them identically. They lived in one and the other was just cleaned but never lived in. He bought the house with the furnishings that had never been used. The house was built in the 1950s and the stuff in it was classic. Tupperware, 1950s kitchen electrics, all kinds of antiques that had NEVER been touched except to be dusted. It was like walking into a time capsule.
