Analog obsolescence? There may be help
By David Pogue, International Herald Tribune
May 29, 2008
Millions of baby boomers today live in fear of being diagnosed with AFLS. or Analog Format Loss Syndrome, the depressing realization that all your old photo prints, cassette tapes and vinyl records risk being lost to the dustbin of obsolete analog equipment.
But with just a few changes to your lifestyle, you can avoid becoming another AFLS statistic.
Where there's a problem, there's an entrepreneur to exploit it. Three new AFLS remedies have just hit the market: a photo converter from Hammacher Schlemmer, a cassette-tape converter from Ion and an LP-converting turntable, also from Ion. All three purport to simplify turning the relics of your analog life into shiny new digital files. But not all of them improve on existing conversion technology.

That sounds nice. Although I'm not one of baby boomers, I have so many things in the format of analog. I guess many people are toring analog based outputs in the analog way of holders such as tape and photo album.
