Playing an old sound box
Today I found this old sound box from 1989 by Fisher-Price. I had this as a toy when I was a kid and I was curious if it still works. It does. And now my own kids shall get this to play with it 😀
I upgraded to a HOTAS and as a side effect my little ones compete with me for stick time now 😱
Shawshank (Void If Removed)Picture this – I’m up to my neck organizing and inventorying our warehouse, listening to CNN, when I hear: Excuse me? Can you do me a favour? Random person walking by. Can you go into the oth…
Ahahaha, omg poor @Shawshank
Yes, some people are just like this. And this is the reason I love ticket systems. Put it in the box, k, thanks 👌😂

Imagine you can not eject that critical core because your fancy touch screen went byebye on the last barrage/power-surge. “Technician is informed”?
This crept in basically everywhere. Give me back buttons. Clicky buttons! Shiny buttons! Glowing buttons!
