In olden days the picture would roll. One would turn the vertical knob to stop the roll or turn the horizontal knob to keep the picture full face. The old days were not so great after all. What used to be is not always better, but some people cling to the past.

Remember when laptops and notebooks were first introduced and sales people fought using them? Now everyone has a one. Some still feel the fifties were great. Some still feel service people should not sell. Some still feel sales is a man's world. Some still feel segregation is good.

If you are living in the past: 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's, if you are fighting change, wake up! The horizontal and vertical knobs are gone. It is the year 2001. A new century. A new millennium!
