Video killed the radio star and the repeater killed the two-holer which is after all sort of a repeater by iteration. The Golden Era of anything is when it's the going thing, in use, the common currency. Has little to do with the perfection of execution or the "ultimate evolution" to every damn cost-added option which can be squeezed in. Bet there are lots of folks who don't think a Lincoln Navigator belongs to the Golden Age of motor cars but think a T-model with a gravity fuel line or even a Stanley Steamer does. This in no ways impugns the usefulness of historical signposts or the self-congratulation of chauvinistic backpatting.
