Experience
 
Funniest thing ever last night a couple of university students doing summer jobs at a local thrift store I generally don't go in them but tonight I was glad I did. They were gathered around an old Panasonic TV from the '80's it was plugged in but they could not figure out how to turn it on and were looking for the remote to turn it on. They were puzzled to the extreme I saw the problem and went up to the TV and turned the power knob on and then grabbed the channel dial and told them this is how you changed channels.

Their looks were priceless and I couldn't resist so I opened my mouth "experience beats intelligence every time!"

Yeah, those tubes needed persuasion now and then.

We had a color tv but had no sound so we put the old black and white tv on top of it for sound

Our TV in the rumpus room was a 13". And main was a 27" now that size is computer monitors

At one time if you had a 27" you were living the highlife now anything smaller than a 32" is considered living on the cheap

When I was a teen, we had an oak floor model TV. Thought it was the best thing ever because the remote had a magnet to hold it on the TV and could be pushed in so it was flush, or pop it out to remove. My parents actually still have it.....that would make a cool fish tank....hmmmmm...

OMG I feel so old now. Black and White TV. That is all. Carry on.
