It's more than just experience; they've been there, done that. Indeed,

every generation has a different kind of "experience", which is always

unique and invaluable.
I wish my grandparents were alive today so I could share with them the

technology I grew to love (when I was younger I learnt everything from

science to history from them), and in turn receive wisdom I could

probably never pick up alone in a hundred years. Even looking at my

father, I realise how little I've learnt for the 2+ decades I've been

blessed to enjoy what this modern world has to offer. Sometimes young

blood runs hot, too hot.
Sorry for derailing the topic further. I guess the train is now on a

collision course, but hats off to the old-timers from the audio

industry!
