"Rational romantic mystic cynical idealist"

Greetings from Akkad

Arrived home in a storm to find the delivery person had safely stowed these in a sheltered corner of the front porch. Three cheers for common sense. If only it applied to my buying habits! I must have a dozen of these retro systems now.
For those who care about the venerable periodical in question, this will be popcorn viewing. (Those who don't won't watch it.) Ironically, though, given the legendary long-form journalism and obsessive attention to detail of "T/N/Y", I thought it could have gone broader and deeper. The famous talking heads added little. I'd have rather heard from the printers, retailers, fanatical collectors, the legal department, the coffee boy... Perhaps the remarks of comedians, etc. were supposed to function like the single-panel cartoons dotted throughout the magazine itself. Didn't work for me.
