Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Ha! I hear you brother! And I always grab the wrong one. Or, in picking it up, manage to push some random, hidden side button that causes some sort of grief! Arrrggghhh!
Next version of iPhone will have capability of being the remote for all of your home entertainment, garage doors, smart appliances, etc. all in one app. So you can get rid of all the black boxes and their batteries.
âCourse if you lose your phone, it becomes a time machine, taking you back to the 1940s.
And then thereâs the problem of two things in a room that use the same command set. We have an air cleaner and a portable heater with that problem, push a button on one control and the other device does something unrelated.
Youâre old if you tell the whippersnappers that you remember when TVs had three channels and the set was made of wood.
Youâre old and tech challenged when you continue trying to turn on the TV and the neighbor calls to tell you that your garage door keeps going up and down.
Youâre old if you remember when Johnny said âIâm so oldâ and the audience yelled outâŚ
Sitting at kitchen table â silver polygon (parts are round) for cable box, small black rectangle with colorful buttons for his roku, black rectangle for sony vhs, black wedge for samsung DVD. Small grey rectangle â my Palm Centro, about same size, black, my Blackberry, larger black rectangle â my android.
All are very distinct from each other as are the other similar items in the bedroom and office â I guess maybe one in living room also.

Decoration can make them distinctive. And as part of the corpus of your work they may even gain value.

And too many things that go âbeepâ at the same frequency

God misplaced his remote control. So, weâre stuck on this channel.

That forces us to be better organized, for the sake of sanity.

For the senior crowd:
Youâre old if you tell the whippersnappers that you remember when TVs had three channels and the set was made of wood.
Youâre old and tech challenged when you continue trying to turn on the TV and the neighbor calls to tell you that your garage door keeps going up and down.
