www.ObsoleteSkills.com

If you have some time to kill and feel like reminiscing, check out this website dedicated to all things obsolete. Some of my favorites:

1. "Tuning In TV Stations Using an Antenna Rotor" (we had one in the 70's)
2. "Dialing a Rotary Phone" (I'm always surprised to hear, "if you do not have a push button phone, please stay on the line" on pre-recorded messages)
3. "Loading Film into a Camera" (hello, digital age)
4. "Opening a Can of Beer/Soda with a Church Key" (the talon-like thing that made a triangular hole)
5. "Be Kind - Rewind Signs" (bye, bye VCR)
