Pfaff showed off the vintage system to his own children and their reaction is what you’d expect from a generation that has moved on to an iPhone X.

My (now grown) children have the same reaction to my old toys. They roll their eyes and go "how prehistoric, Dad."

When I tell them of my childhood with no internet, no cell phones and no cable tv, I might as well be talking about farming in the Dust Bowl during the Depression.

Back around 2000 I was on a pheasant hunting trip in N.W. Kansas and on the first night rented a room of a house owned by a 94 year old widow. She lived there her entire life and her stories of surviving the great dust bowl in that tiny little town was like listening to a living history book.....

That house was actually built by her father outside of town then eventually brought in to that lot pulled by mule train and rolled over logs......
