Very, very cool! What I wouldn’t give to travel back to the CES shows of the 1970s and 80s.<\/p>\n

According to the Levono blog, the 1970 CES was when the VCR<\/a> made its debut. Amazing.<\/p>\n

Thanks again, Bob.<\/p>\n

I’m curious if any SWLing Post<\/em> readers have attended the CES in past decades. \u00a0I really wanted to attend CES in the 1990s, but since I was a university student half of that decade, I never had the funds (or justification) to do so!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
