  Back in the 70s

  When Atari TV games came out (before they were called "consoles"), there was a similar product that just displayed a kaleidoscope of random colors on your TV screen all day, in pixels the size of stamps.
  
  And back then, you were REALLY cool if you had one of those baseball simulator games in your basement that had a million wires dangling from it, and never worked right.
  
  Reminds me of that.

  Fire

  Do you actually know how to set a fire in a fireplace? If you know what you are doing it isn't hard work (particularly when compared with the benefits!) - the hard work part is the clearing out the grate etc which is much more of a pain.
  
  However very few people know how to set a fire properly these days.

    Heh. Like the people who don't realize there's a damper you have to open before starting one in the fireplace? Turn the living room black.
