Remember when you used to set your 15" monitor w/glareshield on top of your desktop case? Those were the days.

Remember when you had to get up to change the channel on the TV because your dad told you to?

Remember when kids used these to kill time? Now they're too busy pirating music and loading their iPods

When helping take care of my late grandfather's estate in Michigan, I found an old mail-in order form for an add-on remote control device for televisions. You had to actually mount the device to the television, and it would manually turn the channel knob when you used the remote.

No way, our TV had a badass remote. It had FOUR BUTTONS!

I remember the first color TV in our neighborhood, everybody gathered around and guaked. My dad says "that'll never catch on, too damned expensive". And only certain shows on a couple of channels were broadcast in color.

The first thing I remember was the NBC peacock followed by "The wonderful world of Disney" I was messmerized.

My remote was corded. I think it had 5 buttons. Channel, volume and power. The only one labeled was power, and it was bright red IIRC.

I actually feared playing that game when I was little because I hated the thought of them dying

I actually wept in school when one of my family members died on that game. After that day I was all about Lemonade Stand!

Ours was cordless. IIRC, you turned the volume all the way down to turn it off, and up to turn it on.
