It rocked!<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness I know enough electronics to be dangerous.

And Paul, that is so true about the TV's back then and now. When I was a kid in the 60's to mid 70's our sets would have problems in one way or another quite often.Now I have owned only two television sets since 1989 and never had a problem with either of them. As for washing machines, I know a guy who repairs them. Good business. That work helped him purchase a nice Jaguar XJS.Slo Gin Fizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902543264740434868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-68494062087387184362007-04-04T01:17:00.000-04:002007-04-04T01:17:00.000-04:00this article actually shows some pragmatic prescie...this article actually shows some pragmatic prescience. i know that as i surround myself with electronic devices i get a crash course in exactly how many new things can go wrong around me on a daily basis.universaladdresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786707908965315092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-35754298550488953552007-03-28T04:48:00.000-04:002007-03-28T04:48:00.000-04:00One interesting aspect of the C21st is that applia...One interesting aspect of the C21st is that appliances are so reliable. When I was a child in the 1970s, the TV broke down every few months. When was the last time that happened. And if the microwave breaks, it's probably easier to get a bew one. Unfortunately, for some reason, washing machines seem exempt from this law of nature...Paul M. Crayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475049224107006434noreply@blogger.com
