And what's up with that "all was better in the old days" ?

My grandfather gave me his old guitar last week. It was a Tender (?) Stratosomething. He bought it in 1954 and I must say he took really good care of it, there was hardly any signs of use on the thing. Of course he always kept it in the old case he got with it.
I went to the local musicstore. I am now the proud owner of a Behringer guitar with USB!!! The shop owner was a really nice guy: he even let me trade in my old guitar and gave me a good price for it! I only had to pay $50 for my brand new guitar.
So my new guitar is better than the old one, I can plug it right into my computer. Who said all the old things are better?
