That Christmas tree brings back a forgotten memory. In the late '80's and early '90's, various organizations around town were allowed to set up Christmas trees at the local shopping mall. The electronics class from the local high school decorated a Christmas tree using old vacuum tubes. To say the least, I thought the idea was neat and tried to get my Mother to go along; but, no luck! A few years later, I was in the same electronics class and they didn't even teach tubes. In fact, most everyone (including the instructor) thought I was weird for showing interest in such "outdated technology".
