Punch cards and now we carry processors several thousand times more powerful than the most powerful supercomputer of 1967 in our pocket smart phone. I still admire Walter Cronkite who was a futurist at heart. Can you imagine anyone one of this caliber and optimism today?

There was a ceramic metal microwave pan back in the 1980's used as a roaster. Mine went the way of the yard sale years ago.

For pure nostalgia K&r
