Here's the thing- as the music teacher, you tend to get tech upgrades only when someone else gets something new. "Auxillary personnel" get the leftovers. This explains why the t.v. in my classroom looks like something similar to the one pictured. Today- after viewing the Nutcracker, I asked a kid to turn off the t.v. and he had no idea what to do.

Damn, I'm old

Thank goodness it wasn't a 8 track player!!!!
Hey that looks just like the Panasonic TV I got in high school & took to college. Except mine was gray.
Oh man! That is an old tv!!
Oh no, you're kidding! Oh well, one day, something similar will happen to him.
I have the same problem with high-school aged kids and newer TV's. They don't know how to do it unless there is a remote.
A UHF dial! *laugh* I guess that they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Hi Sophanne!

Thanks! :o)
Wow. That is a blast from the past. But it's not you that's old--just the t.v. Not your fault. Totally not. (Our school has been under a major renovation all year. It's amazing the stuff they've unearthed. We have a 1960s era transparency maker. And a mimeograph machine. I'd like to see someone run that thing!)
Tee hee hee! I had the DuKane projector (I have forgotten how to spell Dukane? Ducane?)!
We had a local high school music teacher loan one of his prized old jazz record albums to one of his students, after the student told him that yeah, his folks had a record player. Kid came back the next day complaining that it only played half the songs promised on the cover.
"Did you turn it OVER?"
"Over??!?"
