I bought a Mini Cooper. They put the retro speedometer circle in the middle for old times sakes. Sometimes old is new.

I was in a bar and between sets someone requested a song. It's a country song. The guy is using what he admits is a dated older version of band in a box, 2 speakers on poles, one monitor a power mixer and an acoustic guitar with output. One mic. He walks over to the laptop, enters 20 chords, 3 repeats, and 30 seconds later runs it through one verse on headphones, comes back finishes a beer, and does the song which sounded really good.

Guy never bought band in a box in his life and says to me,...what do I need newer stuff for it works great. I never even needed a manual.

Wowser.
