I've seen a bit of weirdness involving records, of all things, lately.
Records, specifically Vinyl Records, are a pretty obsolete technology at
this point. Yes, I'm well aware of the undying love for the "superior"
sound quality of vinyl from a certain subset of bibliophiles. These
people adore their record collections until the end of time. The rest of
us, like my wife, have long given up on vinyl and moved, first, to
compact discts (if not tapes) and then to mp3 files and our iPod-like
devices. This moves record technology for most people, especially the
young, into the same realm as wind up gramaphones or rotary telephones
and HAM radio: old technology loved by a view but looked upon oddly by
the rest.

Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief,
oh Night, and so be good for us to pass.

Why would bibliophiles care?

brother makes a living catering to rich ones, setting up and tweaking
turntables which cost more than most new cars.

Well, I own a Scully record cutting late and a few thousand books so I
can certainly understand why bibliophiles might care.
The ice record and the 3-D printed and laser scribed records, though, are
not made in order to get higher audio quality, but as waltzing bears.
That's not a bad thing, per se.
