I think my husband has it hooked up to a TV. You know. The old kind of TV. Not flat. Bulbous. With a dial, not a remote. Unless Atari doesn't work on that kind of TV. Even OLD technology is not my friend.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-39580964341966661092016-01-08T20:39:35.905-05:002016-01-08T20:39:35.905-05:00As a kid I remember watching a British TV series a...As a kid I remember watching a British TV series about a monk from the Middle Ages somehow ending up in 1970's and the hilarious situations that ensued as he was confronted with technology that had advanced in those four or five centuries.<br /><br />Now, I'd love to encounter a scenario like that, except I would meet a person from the 1950's who ends up in 2016.

And be nice to those nurses. :)<br /><br />I have a Casio with day, date, time in every time zone in the world (I have no idea why I would need to know that), it's a stop watch, and can do a couple more things I haven't figured out yet. And it needs no batteries, ever. It's constantly being recharged by light. And it's accurate to within a nanosecond because it's re-calibrated daily via radio waves from an atomic clock in Colorado. All for <$90 at Costco.
