[YOU KNOW, THE OLD STANDBY IS ALWAYS WHITE PASTE. LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S THE BASIC FORMAT RIGHT THERE. MMM. OH, THE TOAST MAKES IT. I USED TO HEAR PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT.]

“It’s an old standby because I can rely on it to get the job done. That’s what ‘standby’ means.”

“But you won’t upgrade to something with the same specs and then some? Even if you insist on staying in the Omolon catalog, their newer pieces have made considerable advances.”

“I like to stick with what works.”

“Yeah, sure, whatever, but a new model would work just as well, and have advantages over this to boot!”

“Maybe you’re right—”

“I’m definitely right.”

“—but you’re not accounting for adjusting to a new instrument, getting used to what’s different, what’s new; figuring out whether something they changed is something you can work with or not. There’s a lot of lost time there.”

“You’re just making excuses. If you wanna hard-headedly stick to some old gun you like, fine, but don’t pretend it’s some well-reasoned decision. Everybody clings to the familiar.”

“Ever consider that might not be all bad?”

“Ha! Ever consider that might stop us from seeing far enough ahead to survive?”
