: I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who'd rather carry a pocket watch. I've always loved them and I'd like to get a great antique one someday. Right now I just have a cheap one ("ten dollars from a vendor in the street") but I've been keeping my eyes open for a good one.

: I'd still rather live in this time than in Indy's but there are definately things about that era that are better than now. I love how in that time they took pride in their craftmenship. Stuff now is built to be tossed out. I don't own a single thing I bought new in the nineties that I'll be able to pass down to my future grandchildren like a great watch.
: Someday I'd like to have a beautiful pocketwatch and a great rolltop desk but I'll have to go antique on them both because they just don't make stuff like that anymore. Not with any eye toward lasting beauty anyway.
: But at the same time I'd rather live in a time with indoor plumbing, air conditioning, efficient cars, competent medical care and the Internet.
