Title: Put Your Records On


Put Your Records On

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

再見了!Floppy!

雖然後來很少用感觸不是那麼深,不過我已經見證過兩樣東西(錄音帶跟軟式磁碟片)的興衰這件事
倒是令我不勝唏噓啊!!!

不賣了！PC WORLD宣布不再進貨 軟式磁碟片走入歷史

鉅亨網王菁敏／綜合外電報導‧2月2日

自軟式磁碟片(FLOPPY DISK)上市後的 36年來，歷
經數百億美元的銷售後，如今終於走向被淘汰的命運，
英國最大的電腦零售連鎖店PC WORLD日前宣布，未來將
不再進貨軟式磁碟片，換句話說，等到所有的庫存賣完
後，3.5 英吋的軟式磁碟片銷售也將跟隨卡式錄音機、
膠捲式照相機的腳步走入歷史。

PC WORLD表示，目前英國以及歐洲地區 200多家連
鎖店的庫存總計還有 1萬片左右，約在數周之內就會賣
完，屆時將不再進貨。

20世紀末的1967年IBM公司推出世界上第1張軟式磁
碟片，後來軟式磁碟片一度被認為是個人以及公司儲存
資料最便捷的一種工具，光是1998年全球銷售就達到20
億張，幾乎每台電腦都配有「A槽」軟碟機。

與 USB隨身碟或其他記憶卡相比，軟式磁碟片容量
小、單位容量成本高、速度慢且可靠性差，儲存容量只
有1.44MB，勉強只夠裝進1首歌或是1張高解析度的照片
，與動輒1、2GB的隨身碟容量實在無法相比，當然也就
難逃被淘汰的命運。

早在1998年，當APPLE COMPUTER(APPL-US)(蘋果電
腦) 推出沒有軟碟機的「IMAC電腦」時，就已預言軟式
磁碟片的時代即將結束，2003年，戴爾電腦(DELL INC.)
(DELL-US)推出的新一代電腦也跟進APPLE的腳步，2006
年軟式磁碟片全球銷量萎縮至7億張，98%的電腦不再配
有軟碟機，這項過去曾經風光數十年的電腦資料儲存硬
體，如今已成為人類科技日新月異的最佳見證之一。

今日蛋包

生活是由很多的細節所組成,有人說注重飲食起居的細節是生活品質的要素.也就是你的日常生活不是只求溫飽還能夠分心去留意好不好吃漂不漂亮.最近我發現我自己每天都有個有趣的觀察與期待.就像每天大家會看下星座運勢期待一下今天的發展,我總是在我真正吃到餛飩麵加蛋的蛋包前,去猜測它今天是全熟的半熟的還是比較生的.

人是愛占卜的動物,將自己的未來及命運寄託在對某些現象的解釋總讓大家樂此不疲.鳥卦是鳥幫你抽個簽;星座是黃道12宮左右了你今天是漲是跌是否受異性青睞;此外還有咖啡渣,茶葉梗....etc.
在我每天猜測我的蛋黃熟或不熟的同時也許我該做個統計研究,寫個專欄叫"今日蛋包"好了.根據蛋黃的熟,半生不熟,生的,加上蛋白形狀是圓的,橢的,扁的或是其他對外觀上的描述來猜猜我本日運勢如何.

等我發現初從蛋包看出6個數字的公式的時候會寫續集的. To be Continued.....
