Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 11, 2013

Yeah, I guess it’s true most people are windows users. But why does the panel show the kid using an etch a sketch?

That was our first laptops back in the ’60’s.

Now they probably have made it into an app.

You’re talking about Pluggers’ kids…..real Pluggers never had those fancy gadgets when they were young.

My grandsonasked me what type of video games I had as a kid. After I got out of ICU for laughing so hard, I explained how we had “plikes”. You know “Plike this” or “Plike that” and toys made out of things like a corn cob with chicken feathers stuck in one end to make whirley-gigs.

I catch myself at times to realize that voting age adults have never know a world without the Internet.

i, for one, could never get the hang of an etch-a-sketch. i had one back when i was 10 but it eventally wound up with the rest of the toys i paid little attention to. i was far more interested in my matchbox cars, my Beatles cards and my record collection.

I loved my Etch a Sketch, still have it, in the attic of course, but I still have it, and it still works. Checked it out, out of curiosity this past Christmas when I found it looking for one special Christmas ornament I wanted to put on display. Yeah I played with it a bit, LOL!
