I would love to own a DX7.

An urban myth. Well, the music nerd equivalent.

DX7s go for about £150-£200 on eBay. Quite a bit, really. Try and get one with some expansion packs thrown in.

I have a modern softsynth version (NI FM7) for when I feel like channelling Jan. It's great. Like most digital-emulating softsynths, it's probably better than the hardware equivalent.

I have one with 2 expansion packs, a sustain pedal and a volume pedal.

AND the manual.

I used to see pictures of this thing all the time when I was a kid. Then nothing for 20 years.

Coca Cola in 0.33 L bottles. 0.2 replaced those. Why? 0.2 is too small, 0.33 was perfect. BTW, Coca Cola from a cold glass bottle is the proper Coca Cola taste.

The leaning tower of Pisa is another thing that seems to have fallen out of the public consciousness in recent years.
