I was mesmerized the first time I watched a 78. I didn't pay any
attention to the music. I was stunned to see the arm move across so
quickly and how an off center pressing looked so "wild assed" to me. I
didn't know how it stayed in the groove (the idea of tracking at ounces
was a surprise). Later I was stunned by how good they can sound when
you weren't using the wrong stylus and playback EQ.

Your first sentence threw me - until I realized you didn't see a 78
until you knew LPs. My first two record players played only the records
of the day - 78s. (The second one had a radio in it as well.)
Man, am I feeling *old*!
