Is that the "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men? The shadow does!" show or a different one. If it is the same then I got the title wrong and I shall promptly quit the intrawebs.

There's a local radio station here that plays The Shadow every night after 11pm. I've been tuning in for the past 10+ years whenever I get the chance. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> I bought the audio tapes of The Shadow. Good stuff!

OK, with the fervent hope that all pertinent Satutes of Limitations have run out and without disclosing locations, when I was around ten those 5 cent soda's were in horizontal machines and you slid them out after you put the money in(or you carried arond a bottle opener and a straw).

Info out says the Tube TV has a better pic than the modern LCD's and Plasms.

Vacuum tube stereo recievers are still considered the best, but very costly.

No way, no how. I am completely hooked on our 50" LG Plasma. HD signals are stunning, beautiful, detailed, and captivating. We had a WEGA, it's picture is wonderful buyt they don't make 'em 50".

High end tube receivers are a novelty but really, better?

This thread is great. I was looking through an '80s Popular Mechanics. The ads are killer. It really grabbed me how there wasn't a web address to be found, anywhere. Looking at the ads for computers cracks me up, 120k RAM indeed!!!!!!
