Yeah, Liz, I think you're right. It's a little hard to tell through all those pencils and the underpants.

When I was going to the University of Washington School of Music, most of the classrooms in the building had record players in them (probably CD players now). They were mounted in solid wooden cabinets. To get at the switches and the turntable, you had to lift the lid on the cabinet. When you did so, you noticed a list of instructions pasted on the underside of the lid. The first instruction said, "Lift lid."

It went on to give fairly detailed directions for turning the thing on, placing a record on the turntable, and handling the tone-arm. Way down the list was "Check to be sure machine is plugged in."
