You MUST buy one.  I bought one at Circuit City last winter for about a 
hundred bucks.  I have about 275 albums that I hadn't been able to listen to 
in forever, so it was very worth it for me.

Last night I was laying on my bed bored out of my skull wondering what to do 
with myself.  For some reason I started humming 'Crackerbox Palace' by 
George Harrison.  That prompted me to pull the box out of the closet that 
contains about 150 45's.  I then spent the next hour and a half taking a 
little trip down memory lane...and I mean WAAAAAAY down the lane.  It was 
beautiful.  The sound of a needle hitting the vinyl is unparalleled by 
anything modern man has concocted.  The scratch in 'Don't Pull Your Love' is 
still in the same place where it was in 1974 and 'Paradise By the Dashboard 
Light' is still in the same wonderfully unlistenable condition.

You must buy a turntable!
