Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 24, 2023

My first tablet was a blackboard.

I never did like those Etchies… too frustrating to try to make a curve! I have always been a pencil and paper kinda guy!

Guess i’m a plugger. I had one.

“How do I get Netflix on this thing?”

They’re easy to reboot… just turn it upside down and shake it.

I had one, when they first were for sale. They cost $4, which my parents thought was too expensive (about 1960). But I won a cash prize in a picture coloring contest, and bought one myself.

(Hula Hoops cost $1, which was also “too expensive.” My babysitter bought me one for my birthday. Thanks, Sandy.)

Another True That Moment :-)

I eventually got pretty good on mine!

Spirograph!

Had one and got pretty good with it. You could actually tell my dog was a horse.

Once I scraped off the entire surface, so that you could see the mechanism. I was a patient kid.

As a kid, I wondered what the “magic” was in an Etch A Sketch; so I opened mine. What a mess. Mom was not happy at all……

No, you were once a child.

My kids even had one!

My first tablet was held together with a spiral metal wire..

Ahhh… the simple pleasures of the good ol’ days.

I’m a plugger. I had one.

Eh me never seen one of em. Let alone holds em in me bear hands.

I had Magic Slates before that.

My first tablet was a tablet of paper. A lot more versatile than an Etch-a-Sketch.

My first tablet was an aspirin. :)

Believe it or not, I’ve been to Mendon.

I never could it to look like anything. – except maybe tall buildings. I was hopeless.

Nostalgic, isn’t it?

Little did we know!

My youngest sister had one – I predate them.
