On the internet you can find reference to the MAC-1900 being better than any modern solid state.
Yeah, well on the internet you can find someone to support just about any opinion you can name, if you look long enough.

Don't look too far, you'll fall off the edge of the disc EarthSadly, one does not have to look very long at all.
And once again, Generation X gets forgotten. Don't mind us - we'll be over here doing all the work.I know someone who deals in vintage Italian racecars. He opines that men are like baby birds - when the testosterone kicks in, they pattern-imprint on the desirable car / actress / Hi-Fi of the moment, and carry that as the platonic ideal for the rest of their life. (Greatest generation guys like blower Bentleys, baby boomers like GTOs and GT40s*; millennials like e30 M3s)
(psst - we liked E30 M3s long before Millennials)
I feel your pain. I had a similar dilemma and ended up getting a sensible E36 318i (needed child seat support) and eventually a VW SportWagon TDI. For that matter, I once passed up a 1968 Porsche 912 for $8k. Kicking myself now.I left GenX off my original list because it pains me to talk about this.. But, so long as we're wallowing in nostalgia, this Gen-Xer came within a gnat's eyelash of buying an e30 M3 for $12K in 2002. I test drove it for a few hours around Wellesley MA; on dry pavement, that car dances like Fred Astaire. Ultimately decided that I needed a DD that could handle Boston winters. This just a year after I sold an Alfa GTV, another car that has subsequently skyrocketed beyond my toy budget. Siiiiigh.
Let’s see. I had a chance at a 86 911 targa for 8K. Walked away from a mint garage find 300ZX TT for 5 K. And sold my beloved 72 Plymouth Road Runner because I had no where to store it while I was being deployed. That last one still hurts. Oh and the 69 Boss 302 that I could have scooped up for short money. When it comes to cars, I seem to make bad decisions.
The only two cars I regret parting company with are both 60s creatures - '66 Mustang GTR and my hotrodded '68 Ghia.I still regret selling my 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner.
I sold a 72 cuda factory dragpack car because I was moving and did not want to sell my 240z race car I was racing at the time, plus I was as little broke too at the time. Dumb.... yesI still regret selling my 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner.
