Well, I just finished a project and put away my sewing machine....a 1917 (that's right 1917) Singer, cast iron with lovely decals on the body. 85 years old, sews forward, period, and runs like a top. They just don't make them like that any more.

I'm still trying to figure out my new microwave. Best breakthrough was when I read the directions and learned that if I pushed the HOT WATER button twice, it would get the water hot enough for my morning cuppa.

As for the VCR, we had to borrow a neighbor's kid to set it up for us, and when it died we threw it away. Haven't bothered to replace it.

On the other hand, when it comes to computers, I want ALL the bells and whistles. Go figure.
