[Leica] (selling vinyl) Two from The Online Photographer

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

I gave up high end stereo systems a decade ago, and have no wish to return
into that particular pool! I am quite happy with Itunes as of now. I have
given away to my friends around 1000 cassettes, am in the process of
copying a similar number of CDs to hard drives (a fair proportion are
bootlegs, otherwise I would not bother) before disposal, and distributing
over 5000 books to school/college/club libraries. I have decided that my
overstuffed house can do without these, as they just seem to take up space
and serve little other purpose other than a sense of ownership. Far better
they go out into the wide world and are enjoyed by others!
Cheers
Jayanand
