WWTBAM Bored

I found this at my local used CD store this weekend, well worth the $2.50





Originally from 1968, so 50 years ago. Check out the liner note from Joey Bishop too.



I never knew this existed, but this and another couple of albums by Regis are on iTunes.

I think a portal has opened into the Bored's past today! Bixby, mikehardware, Regis.....

I actually got out that file and looked at it during my time off around New Years..... or at least, tried to look at it. The rankings numbers are in an old MS Works database file that my new computer laughed at when I tried to open it. I could probably still access it from my creaky laptop, but wasn't motivated enough to either do that or research how to convert it to something my computer can read...

Ack! Please don't allow this part of Bored history to die the death of technical obsolescence! --Bob

I have all of the messages from the old Boreds backed-up on 7-track tape. Unfortunately, no one makes 7-track tape drives anymore.

Just because no one makes them anymore doesn't mean there aren't any out there still working and available to port the data to a modern medium.
