So, wonder what is really "TV Dinner" ? Something you eat while watching TV ? or a dinner that ads shown on TV ?

This is a modem. It function like today modem. Your PC - model - line to outer world.

The line to outerworld nowaday is fiber optic cable. Long ago, we use phone line. A bit more years back then, we put the whole "handset" to the modem so our modem can "talk" to server using machine language, in voice (boop beep boop beep)

Back in the old day, word processor is a device rather than software

[META] Should we (continue to) allow retro/vintage ads for products that are still available? (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

There has been concern that if an ad is for a product someone can still purchase today then it is more an ad, and less something retro/vintage.

Anyone have any thoughts either way? I may do a poll.

Edit: This appears pretty conclusive. There will be no changes at this time. Some have mentioned the lack of hard timeframe but until that becomes an obvious issue is prefer to keep it vague.
