Who cares about that? It's just a cool thing to do, and as he says...watching that play is a lot more fun that looking at a laptop. I just bought a Pioneer RT-10111 yesterday and am looking forward to having fun with it. I like the idea of taking it out and recording a show, too. Although the disadvantages are that it weighs a ton and recording time per reel isn't the same as recording to an SD card, or whatever. Not to mention how many people will come up and ask what the fuck it is!
