How The Mighty Have Fallen


This is a 16-track digital recorder. It weighs hundreds of pounds, is over 5 feet tall and requires its own dedicated power and cooling. It cost over $100,000 in the early 90s. Nowadays, its functions can be eclipsed by your average PC from Best Buy (though admittedly not with the same stellar sound quality), rendering it worthless to pretty much anyone except obsessive eccentrics. Like me. I nearly herniated my entire body moving it.
