TV, Y U no work?!
Silver fiddles with the 'rabbit ears' antenna on an old RCA XL100 television set, trying to figure out why the picture is terrible. Just another day in my (real) life! x3
This awesome piece was done by
TheDoggyGal! I got to meet her at Megaplex 2012, which was apparently her second time attending. :D She was awesome, and I'm so glad I was able to get some art from her. I just barely grabbed a slot when she opened up at almost 4AM. x3

And both local analog TV staitons (there were two) recently went off the air!
One of them was called Me-TV ("Memorable Entertianment Television"), which, as the name suggests, played old shows. I like old stuff, and I used to watch I Love Lucy, Cannon, Hogan's Heroes, and The Three Stooges on that channel. It went off the air sometime last year, October I think.
The other one was WMLW in Milwaukee, on which I would watch America's Funniest Home Videos. It went off the air only a month or two ago, but I used to record AFV, so i have nearly 24 hours of it on VHS tape!
Both of these channels are now only available in digital form. Good thing I'm not a huge fan of television!

Wow that was a fast reply!
Yes, we can still get Me-TV, WMLW, and we also can get ThisTV, but only on digital. We have a digital-to-analog converter, but Dad took it away because I stayed up late at night too many times, watching television! Neither of my parents are big TV fans (Mother never watches it.)

I'm currently sitting at my laptop, browsing for new replies, barring FA's insanely slow speeds lately.
Unless you're needing to be up early the next morning, your parents shouldn't be taking away your TV-watching privileges...even more so, their opinions of television should never reflect on their actions towards you. (That is, they should not be keeping you from watching just because they don't like to.)

Oh, yeah, the XL100 was RCA's 'go-to' model for a LOT of their sets. x3 The XL100 was the lower-to middle-end lineup, with the Colortrak sets being the higher-end models. I personally own one XL100--it is a 13-inch turret (knob) tuner set with a woodgrain cabinet from 1986. Very well made and still runs like a champ! :3
The one in the artwork here isn't meant to be a specific model, but rather a generic older XL100, most likely from the early to mid 1070s, with knobs and a woodgrain cabinet. Size is probably between 13 and 19 inches. :3

IBM's attempt to cash in on the atari/commodore 'home computer fad'.
They published instructions on how to make compatible 3rd party hardware which spawned the term 'PC Compatible', as companies marketed their own upgrades and clones.
Because IBM shared so much, the 5150 became the foundation of home computing beyond what are now considered old game consoles, and set most of the standards in use today such as the x86 software architecture (named after the 8086 processor it used) the dimensions and mounting holes for CD/DVD drives are from the floppy/hard drives, and even the design of expansion slot backplates are practically unchanged after 30 years.
