Let me get out my Buck Rogers decoder ring... hang on. (Are you dictating your posts or typing them?)
LMAO. Most computers, phones, tablets have a built-in microphone so you can "dictate" what you want to type. When I had my surgery last year I used my iPad microphone to post because I couldn't use my right hand for a couple of weeks.
Oh my, you must have me mixed up with someone who is computer literate. Even spell check gets confused with my words sometimes.
My grandparents had a thing like the "color wheel" that people pointed at their aluminum Christmas tree. This was a smaller version. You pointed it at your black-and-white TV, plugged it in and voila! you had color tv. Except that you didn't.......
We always had live trees except for one year dad brought that set-up home from Murphys. I think we threw it in the trash after the holidays. Aluminum ain't Christmas, that's for sure. Was this your color-ish tv thing?
Well I do remember my first colored tele, but it was a small one not a large big screen, after I left the Army and got married. Heck we still had black and white TV in the Army Fort Campbell 1966, each day room had a tele.
