A bit of classic Kiwi style humor from an 80's TV ad.

 

Me neither I just assumed it was an international Ad put out by BASF (Yankee accents and all)

 

They clearly have conceived of the Bluetooth wireless speaker that I recently received for my birthday.

I don't recall any kind of Walkman having a wide broadcast option.

But, there you go; the Admen have anticipated the future.

 

There were cassette players that had built it speakers. I had a few of them. Some even had a built-in mic for recording. They were a bit on the heavy side, until Sony gave us the "walkman" that was lighter and more portable.

 

They have only just got them in to our stores in Tassie, heaps better than a phonograph!

 

Hey Jarvid
Have flushing toilets hit the island yet ?

 

Gracious, we have just got this magical thing called 'the wireless' People talking without actually being there!

Hoodathunk??

I had occasion today to pull an old file at work. Dated back to 1998, all the faxes (on thermal paper) between our company and a lawyer were completely browned out and unreadable.

Which may, or may not be a good thing.

 

I know that syndrome well.

Working in central NSW in the mid to late 1990s where the temperatures could get to high 40s Celsius over summer. Print out the address of the farm I am to visit on thermal paper, only to have the paper unreadable by the time I got near where I was going.

All I can say, is thank God for the bag phone!

Cheers, SB

 

Is that the one where you can only talk to your wife?
