He also starred in the movie “The Battle of the Bulge”. RIP

I am fully aware that commercials help pay for most of the expenses and operating costs of broadcast, network and cable companies programming, and their existence is dependent on them; but lately it sure seems that they're cramming more and more commercials into the programming. I have had...

Yes, in a Aluminum can. But the "Cone Top" soda cans were produced at the New York bottling plant in the late 1940's for several soda flavors (I wonder what metal was used? :eek:). It was in 1954, that Royal Crown became the first to sell a soft drink in a flat top aluminum can. :D...

I remembered when both Coke and Pepsi started using cans, parents were in an uproar because they resembled Beer Cans. Those were the days, Coke was a guy’s drink, and Pepsi was a gal’s drink. A guy would not want to be seen drinking a Pepsi.

Looking at one of the Pickers show series last night and they showed a ”Super Coola” soft drink can. Man, did that bring back memories. I think it was the first large scale distribution of soda in a can in New York. I grew up drinking that brand, Grape flavor was my favorite. Yea I know...

RIP Eddie.

Television Wall Mounts Recalled by Milestone AV Technologies: Television Wall Mounts Recalled by Milestone AV Technologies Due to Injury Hazard

Any SatelliteGuy's members living in that general area feel anything?

I wonder if either the Chevrolet HHR or the new GMC Terrain will meet with the same fate. It is like some people say - it has a “Love it or hate it” design. Personally, I like the designs, it does bring back memories. AHH for the good old days::) No cripple zone hood; No air bags...

Don, I used a Arithma addiator with a metal stylus, before I went up in technology to a sliding rule! :tux:

Bronx - PS 69 in 1952 Bobby; had to wear ties, shoes, and the girls had to wear skirts (no Jeans). :tux:

Oops, my memory was confused :o; being from New York in the old days Lafayette electronic parts stores were the big daddy electronic store in the 50s. I guess as it went out of business, Radio Shack started taking over the old store location sites which led to my fuzzy memory. Anyway, it was...

I remember building a Lafayette receiver (man did I sucked in a lot of solder smoke) after a few months the brass face plate on the receiver stated to get dingy and brown, could not understand why; then I took the knobs off and as I started to clean the face plate with Basso, I discovered that...

Lafayette Electronic Part Stores I agree, I'll miss it. just like the Heathkit stores and mail order; but if you can remember (if you go that far back ;)) the Lafayette Electronic Part Stores, and their thick catalogs, before it became Radio Shack. Did I go too far back for you Navychop? :)

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME BEGINS SUNDAY MARCH 14 At 2AM. Set your clocks forward one hour Guys :)

That was the first thing that came to mind. Yea I remember also that it cost just a penny, and came in pairs. I know not many remember that, but as my granddaughter states “My grandpa was born a few years after the wheel was invented!” :(

Armed Senior Citizens My wife and I have concealed weapon permits, and we both carry our weapons everywhere except where it is not permitted. Uncle Sam was my teacher, and yes I have used it to defend myself. As senior citizens and due to the fact that we travel often, we always carry.

7 miles a minute Let's see; at 425 miles an hour speed, that makes it about 7 miles a minute. It will not take long to do 150 miles. A little over 21 minutes.

Missing from the listing is "Lack of Quality" Yep! "Lack of Quality" It all started when Japan had better quality built vehicles being imported for far less cost. American made vehicle’s reliability was very poor, and that is what stated the trend. American buyers got tired of paying...

Nice history lesson; I still miss the "HeathKit" store and their Made in America Kit products. :flag: (for the old timers who can still remember them :))

After looking at the Barebone kits, I agree with you on the Compusa and TigerDirect look-a-like. If this additional trade name provides better service and lower prices, I am all for it! :):up But, if the prices are the same between CC, Compusa and TigerDirect then I do not see the advantages...
