What if there were record albums...

And, some light reading.

Those are great.

Speaking of geeking, I've been watching it again with the VR goggles. It's not 3D or anything, but it's really impressive on a simulated iMax size screen.

I need to get back to it.

Details? That sounds like a hell of a lot of fun.

I just bought some Oculus Quest 2 Goggles, primarily so I could play some of the VR games on the PC, but while I wait for the connection cable to arrive (it's a long story involving UPS) I've been using them to watch stuff on Amazon - essentially, the Amazon app simulates a big cinema screen.

The technology isn't all the way there yet, but the Amazon app works pretty well, if you don't mind wearing the goggles. For $300, the technology has impressed me a lot. I suspect that in about 10 years it will be amazing.

The goggles aren't the most comfortable things in the world, but they're fine for an hour or so at a time, and some of the VR videos are also quite impressive.
