Hi there, BEBOP,

I don't go back quite that far but I remember when Disney Land first opened. LOL

For me TV has always been around as were electric lights in the house. But I am one of those strange people who like an occasional power outage for the same reasons.

I few years back I was having a dinner party with a few friends when the power went out and stayed out for about 5 hours. It was delightful. Fortunately the food was cooked so it made for a nice quite evening with friends and no TV, radio or telephones.

That may be one reason I keep the PSR-500 around since is will run on C cells but then if the power is out why break the silence.
