That’s a very personal question, Opus, and quite frankly, it has given me the vapors.

I touched a Dial about 30 minutes ago.

The last time I used a TV with knob dials was probably the mid-’90s. I had a small, older color TV in my bedroom for a while back then. I bought it for like $30 at a yard sale with money I’d earned mowing lawns.

Welp, I don’t think any other reply is going to beat this one for specificity.

I had a little tiny TV I bought in the early 2000's . I mean tiny! Maybe a 6 inch, 8 inch screen ? I had an office job back than and kept it in my desk drawer . My boss would leave at around 4- 4:30 ish everyday , and I worked till 6 . Out came my tiny TV to watch after he left.

Had a little dial, no cable of course. I left that job in 2008, and ended up selling it in a yard sale. Now that I think about it, I wish I had held onto that mini TV.

Google reverse translation:

Zone Boy and Opus—I’m sorry, but... I already became Japanese two weeks ago.

Where have I seen this thread before?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Don't touch that dial - when was the last time you used a dial television?
