Most of the tech articles were very similar to tech tips and articles found in today's Journal. It was neat, however, to see ads for pianos that are long out of production. The other thing I noticed was the sexism in the magazine. Very male dominated, not only in the articles, but also in the ads, (which stereotyped the women). One ad in particular said. "hey tuner guys." Wim </HTML>
