and 60 years ago mom and dad had remote control for their TV.....my brother or me! and, of course, we also had the hi tech job of 'tuning' the rabbit ears ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Our first "remote" had a wire connecting to the tv, Back in the late 60's I'm thinking. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| When I was in high school a kid (who’s parents ran the local appliance/ tv store) came to school telling us that they had a stereo with a remote control. After school that day half the school was in the store watching that stereo work. It still had dials and they would turn if you used the remote. |

| For what it is worth, I still have a tv in the kitchen for the morning joe, that works off of a home made, bow tie, antenna. I get all the locals, that I need! The others are cable, and cost $$, for the bride! |
