I have to say I am very glad to have grown up in the 'razor blade' era. It
taught me a lot, editing quarter inch and two inch tape and even DASH digital
tape!
Listening today to radio and the like I often hear double breaths or no breaths
at all in speech!
But now having been using computer based systems I would hate to go back! In
fact I doubt one could as the 'genie' has been let out the bottle.

I have worked with the same or similar liquid; I think it was called 'Magna-See
Solution'.
I'd hate to go back to the days of razor blades, editing blocks and splicing
tape, but they weren't so bad when you got your skills worked out. One nice
benefit was that, because it was more time consuming and destructive, the
clients didn't expect so much. Kept things on a saner level.
