Maybe we need to think back a few years. Of course I AM old. In about 62 I began to get interested in radio / electronics/ amateur radio. "Coveted" material were the catalogs you could order out of magazines, Allied Radio, Lafayette, Burstein Applebee, Olsen Electronics. But you had to laborously write out an order form, figure the shipping, put a money order in there, and MAIL IT back east. If you were LUCKY a month later, you MIGHT get a notice in the mail about your package, and THEN YOU HAD TO figure out a way to make it downtown to the post office
