Watching a slide show with a slide projector *beep*

Hey, a couple of those are still necessary. I cleaned the ball in Grandma's computer mouse this last summer. You should have seen the cat hair in it!!!! :)
Wow, I feel old! I know most of those things! Good grief.... I hope I would know the skills on the other list that have replaced those obsolete skills.
We just adjusted our rabbit ears tonight...what are you talking about???
