The utter joy of cribbing your entire term paper on the Delian League from an outdated World Book encyclopedia.

Ah yes, that's another one... spending a thousand pounds or whatever on Encyclopaedia Britannica... a collection of leather bound books each using a small forest's worth of paper Wink Great books, but now all you need is Wikipedia.

I swear on my eyes this is a true story.
Our first Telly, late 50s took twenty minutes to warm up before anything resembling a picture appeared. The pictures? boxing, Dixon of Dock Green, boxing, The Black and White Minstral Show, boxing, The Wooden Tops and boxing. But I digress...

After 2-3 hours our eyes were beginning to stream from the fumes emanating from this wonder of British technology then the flames would begin to creep out of the cooling vents. The trick was, pull the plug out of the wall and let it cool down for an hour then plug in back in. And I kid you not, the fucking thing would work!?!
No, there was no panic this had been going on for a week.  

Dad insisted "it's just the newness wearing off". No dad. Old stuff can and does burst into flames without warning, new gear shouldn't do that. But guess what, he was right albeit for the wrong reasons.
Those early Tellys were as heavy as a Scammell gearbox, this is because they were packed solid with big fat massive copper coils covered in some sort of soft black insulating shit and immediately below the highly flammable insulating shit were banks of long white ceramic resistors. After about a week there was no black shit left to fuel the fires.
It was about that time I was diagnosed as asthmatic.

Happy days.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

How about when cable TV was exactly that. A dial-like remote, attached to a long ass cable that went into the cable box. You had 99 channels.
