We've had this turtle one before. Apparently they get put in the fridge to hibernate or something or other.

lol...nice. Imagine how that'd feel though. Yucko.
I didn't mind seeing the turtle one again. I thought it was interesting what I learned the last time it was here.

You're right Ali, might have been an IOtD, I remember the discussion about why she was doing this.

In 1980, if you had this setup, you were pimpin'. From the shitty pressboard furniture that only fits one TV, bottom vents (people! heat rises), and would you really believe that top-loading VCR didn't have a remote? And I think it was barely programmable if at all? |

Bottom vents look like stero speaker boxes to me.

VCRs in 1980? I remember my friend's family having some monstrosity that played these giant discs, but I don't remember anyone having a VCR or cassettes to fit. They didn't record either. That contraption must have been way high dollar in its day!

I remember seeing TV consoles in stores when i was a kid that had 2 speakers built into it. One was solid mahogony, about 8 feet long and cost $10,000.00. And this was around 1975 or so.

They might have, if the unit was to be used along with other equipment. But it didn't matter, TV broadcasts were not generally in stereo until the mid to late 80s.
