Have you heard of a kid who would watch Citizen Kane?

Same concept, I think. And yeah, I don't like those people myself. But I kind of belong in their age group and I don't loathe the "obsolete" things of the past. I really try to apperciate the value that they have and I'm sure I'm feel very old. And people wonder why I primarily play SNES emulators all day. They can't be considered groundbreaking by today's standards, but of course, you gotta take a broader prespective of things. And as people have mentioned, they provided the stepping stone for that. Do you think a guy could have created the first sword before stone knives first?
