    See how happy she looks in her kitchen, where she can wear those high heels without the risk of harassment from male co-workers? You little ladies don’t know how good you had it!

    Heh. There’s a picture in the family album of the television that my father built from war surplus components c. 1950. He seconded my mother’s tea trolley to hold all the bits – – chassis full of tubes and coils, wires dangling out, and the picture tube sitting naked in the middle of it all.

    I wouldn’t try moving that thing in the picture while a record is playing.

    It looks as though this wasn’t an actual product, which is kind of a shame. Philco did make some amazing looking things though. Check out some of these works of art/monstrosities from 1960 alone: http://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1960a/#Model_H1618

    I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. My computer looks like that. Problem? :-/
