Remember when

[Tug002]

Remember when we had to smack the TV because
the channel wasn't coming in clearly?
I feel that way about far to many people now.

Wow ... and here's me thinking we were the only ones doing it! We even made a "remote control" to do the job ... an old boot on the end of a broomstick!

Now I have to smack the remote!

Those where the days!

This one is on a similar note: If you know what this is, you have dying knowledge.

I don't understand why you guys would want to risk breaking your flat screens.

I still need to do that occasionally to my PC's left monitor.

I also remember adjusting the “rabbit ear” antenna To just the right spot you could see Batman through the snow, the realizing if you let go the antenna, the “snow” became a blizzard and the picture was lost! Or how about constructing elaborate structure from aluminum foil to “augment” the reception! I think those of us of a certain age may have better imaginations as a consequence!

I can clearly remember our first dishwasher, it was called Dad and I.....

As the youngest, my primary job was Official Channel Changer and Rabbit Ear Adjuster. Finally got a TV with a remote around 1980, I think, and cable even later. No wonder I stayed thin.

I still call the TV remote a "clicker" once in a while. Remember why they were called that?

I had to Google why we called it a clicker. At this point in my life, I'm lucky if I don't call it a banana or orange...when I can find it.

Funny thing to remember. When I was that age I could hear extremely high frequencies and could hear the sound the clicker made (beyond the "click"). Later I could hear the sound the electronic versions made.

This was not all fun and games, as I could also hear the flyback transformer on TVs, a high pitched squeal. Motion detectors in stores were extremely loud, but only babies and I could hear them. It made babies cry when near them. It made me use rude language.

But don't bother complaining about such things. No one will believe you.

Mm. Clickers. I had a crush on the girl whose house had one.

I also remember when the TV would not work taking the back off and looking for the tube that was not lit. Then I would ride my bike to the local TV shop with the tube to get another one to replace the one burnt out. Had to be able to watch Bugs Bunny
