Princess phones coming on the market. You could one in pink, blue, or a sort of off white.
"It's little, it's lovely, it lights up!"
I'm old enough to remember when rotary telephones were still in fairly wide use although decreasing. (I was born just a couple months after Mother Bell died.)
I remember when cell phones operated in 2 bands of 30 kHz FM channels in the 800 MHz band and everything was nice and wide open. Although "illegal" you could tune them using an old 82-channel TV tuner in channels 81-83. One of my cousins had a Realistic PRO-2004 police scanner that he had done the mandatory diode-513 amputation procedure on (those "in the know" will understand) and I ended up with it when he got his first trunktracker in the 90s when those were new. It was absolute nirvana for a 12-year old geek in the mid 90s. Oh the things you'd hear.
And the zillions tons above you the desk would stop that from crushing you like a bug...
Yep. There were some gross misunderstanding about nuclear power back then.
But in keeping with the topic of the thread, I'm so old I had one older professor in New Mexico who once related a story to me of attending lectures given by Albert Einstein. The professor did this while we stood in the hallway of the science building while his pipe filled the hallway with tobacco smoke. No one complained and certainly not me.

Did this happen because they forgot to retard the manual spark advance?
That and other items... number one knowing how to crank and which way to hold your hand on the crank and not letting the elbow get stiff... you want the crank to kick " OUT " of your hand... not into it...
I remember my first Apple Mini Ipod 2nd generation back in 2005 for my 12th birthday.
