Being old
I get quizzed sometimes about how things used to be by younger coworkers. Today's struck me as an old man moment. In the 80s, what OS were TVs running? I proceeded to explain how to remotely drive an electron beam. Then described that brief blissful time when TVs were standard def and flat screen so it would just turn on. No waiting for warm up and boot up.

In my day the box was run by a boy named Erik, if you wanted a show you gave him tuppence to put on a funny hat and jump around.
I seem to recall having an HD tv that also just turned on without much fanfare as late at 2010, granted I searched long and hard to find one that wasn’t 3D at the time. I happen to still own it and it works fine. But maybe I am atypical as the only TV in our house lives in the attic, rather than being in the middle of our living room.
