I finally went and put handwritten stickers on the function buttons of my stereo to tell me what button plays which. Tape 1 is the multi-disc player, tape 2 is the MiniDisc, Vid 1 is the DVD, Vid 2 is the cassette, CD is the stand-alone CD burner. AM/FM and Phono I left alone.

I remember going over to my old boss' house and he had to do this to his Soundesign stereo, and I thought, "How cheesy is this?"

I'm ollllllllllld. Goddammit.

You're not old until the clock is always flashing 12:00

Heh. Another story about work w/ the same boss. They had an interior design bidness- we'd go to the people's houses and set up furniture they had bought from us.

We were doing a bedroom, when I looked at the customer's bedside clock. Sure enough, it said "12:00." She said, "it always says that- I set it according to the directions, but it always says 12:00!"

I looked closer at the clock, and it still had the clear plastic label over the readout that said 12:00. I peeled it off, and the correct time was underneath.

LoL

Oh shit, that made me laugh!

Wow. Amazing.

Reminds me of the story of the older lady who called the computer help line, complaining that the PC wouldn't do anything no matter how hard she stepped on the pedal.

And yes, the "pedal" was the mouse.
