Btw, it does not turn anything into apples.  That functionality is not yet available.

I got an old cassette ghetto blaster I drag out when I'm on the patio. If I tie some bailing wire on the antenna I can pull in Wichita Falls.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes holdin leg wonderin how to feel them.
Would you get behind them if you could only find them?
Shes my baby, shes my baby,
Yeah, its alright.

Shes got hair down to her fanny.
Shes kinda jet set, try undo her panties.
Everytime shes dancin she knows what to do.
Everybody wants to see if she can use it.
Shes so fine, shes all mine,
Girl, you got it right.

Shes got legs, she knows how to use them.
She never begs, she knows how to choose them.
Shes got a dime all of the time,
Stays out at night movin through time.
Oh, I want her, said, I got to have her,
The girl is alright, shes alright.

But does it receive transmissions from the early-mid 80s?

Yes, it does. Have you ever listened to Wichita Falls radio stations?

I don't mean to be contentious xtoronto, but 1,243,215 re-warmed cups of tea and 764,323 heated up left-overs later, my vote for best gadget still has to go for the Microwave.

The iPod qualifies for my "nifty toy" category vote however.

Naw, I just moved to Cumberland County PA. The hair-spray craze is a good 10-15 years in the future here.
