OMG. BRAVE LITTLE TOASTER. RADIO WAS MY FAVORITE BUT HE SCARED ME SO BAD.

Radio scared you? Why's that?
I was scared when Lampy got fried and the whole junkyard scene.
Thanks for the fav, by the way!

Your welcome and yeah. When he used to do that tunning and change voices. It creeped me out and actually... the AC unit scared me the most besides that junkyard scene. That was pretty like "woah" for when i was like 5. XD

The funny thing is, if my appliances were alive, the new ones would be worried about being replaced with old ones! I mean really. Antique radios, for example (the ones that use vacuum tubes--especially if they can receive FM) sound FAR better than their modern transistor counterparts! That's because of the tubes. No transistor sound system can match a tube one. And tube radios, in my experience, are more sensitive than their transistor counterparts, too, sometimes even if the transistor radio has a better antenna! I put a Heathkit GR-54, I think it was, to the test against a Grundig S350DL. The vacuum-tube Heathkit picked up signals that the transistor Grundig could only dream of. The Grundig had its proper 5-foot-long telescoping antenna; the Heathkit only had a 3-foot bit of old electrical cord clipped to a wire terminal for an antenna! And with that setup I was able to listen to a shortwave station on Ascension Island (way out in the South Atlantic), beamed at South Africa (directly away from us!), IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON. That's the worst time for shortwave radio.

The same goes for vacuum cleaners. I have five Kirbys. All of them are older than me (and I'm 21). Four of them still run, including the oldest (about 50 years old). The fifth will run as soon as I reassemble it (I disassembled it years ago for restoration and then got distracted. All the washed parts are packed away in a Sterlite box).

I have a Sunbeam toaster from (I believe) 1946 that still works!

I have an Electrolux Model XXX ("30") canister vacuum cleaner from 1949 that's still going strong--and I use it A LOT. Like several hours at a time, about once a week at least.

I have a Royal typewriter on my bedroom desk. I think it's from the 1920s and it still works well.

I'm using a 10-year-old Dell Latitude D610 laptop to post this comment. It originally ran Windows XP Professional, now is running Slacko Puppy Linux 5.7 quite nicely. Does get awfully hot sometimes, though. And I have a 17-yer-old HP Pavilion desktop computer that used to run Windows 98 (first edition). It still runs also, now with Wary Puppy Linux and FreeDOS 1.0 with Windows 3.11.

Wow, did I ever get carried away....
