“I was too young and google was not around in 1953.”
Well I was born 6 years later than you and the Internet was around then.
I tried Googling from the nursery after I was born; but blew 2 vacuum tubes in the hospital servers trying to connect.
My life has never been the same.
I remember that! That was you?
Wow, I need to tell my daughters about vacuum tubes tomorrow. (They can correctly identify typewriters) I remember as a kid my father would fix the B&W TV and he would take vacuum tubes from the TV that were going dim and testing them at a local store and replacing the bad ones. I guess this was before the days of Radio Shack.
