Well, not like *yesterday*. I was a student at the University of
Tennessee. No
TV set. I found a business with a TV set near the window and watched it
from the
street.



I'm 45 and still call them TV sets. I wonder if there's a 20 year old in the
country who's ever used that term? g

I catch myself calling tires steel belted radials. Microwave oven is another
one.

Armstrong on the moon was 36 years ago...

Let's see -- I graduated HS in 1978. So '36 years ago' from that would be
1942. (time-perspective game I sometimes play)

Nawh, if you called 'em "radar ranges", then you would be showing your
age...

Hey, I resemble that remark! My radar range just gave out about two years
ago. Funny thing is that the cooker part still worked, but the electronics
in the control went senile! g

Hey -- we use an Amana (built just 20 miles from here) Radar Range every
day!

It's now 26 years old, and going strong.
