Does anyone still remember the thick mail-order catalogs from back in the day? Otto, Neckermann, and especially Quelle? You would wait for weeks until the new catalog finally fluttered into your home. The feeling when you opened it and flipped through the colorful world of desires page by page. And then you saw at the very back, where the electronic devices were displayed, all those expensive hi-fi systems. Brand new, with a 3-disc CD changer. And then you would spend hours looking and comparing all the devices, even though you knew you could never afford any of it. And then you took the catalog in your hands, held it close to your nose, and thumbed through it... and it smelled new, like dreams on glossy paper and all the expensive things you can't afford.
