am i weird for…?

wanting to be retro? i basically like anything and everything from the mid 50's to the early 90's. when i get a car, i wanna get something like a 60's beetle. i wanna get a 70's wardrobe and i wanna change my hair. i like retro fashion. i love elvis music. i love back to the future and most 80's films. i've forbidden myself from using my ipod and computer for a period of time until now of course. i watched my television very limitly. i read the news every single morning. i bought an antique radio which was my only entertainment along with the newspaper. it's just too bad that i was born in '93.
what other things can i do?

What’s a good portable media center/MP3 player to get?

I'm interested in getting a mp3/portable media center. I currently have a samsung yh-999 but it's too big and too difficult to get videos on it. (Windows media player takes too long to convert). I was looking to get a new unit, does anybody have any suggestions other than an Ipod? I like the way you can record off TV from the archos series, but I'm also looking for something that has decent content for me to download off the interenet. Kind of like what Itunes does for the ipod. Any suggestions?

I'm not looking for any multi-thousand dollar turntables or DJ equipment...I just want to play all these old records that my parents have in boxes.

Are there still decent new ones you can buy?
Or should I look for a used one?

Please only answer if you are an audiophile or you actually know!
Answers telling me to 'go get an ipod' are not appreciated!

If you were an archaeologist two hundred years in the future from now, what object would you unearth?

probably an Ipod.

though It'd probably look like a huge antique radio by then.
