Cool story. When I woke up on Saturday, Aug. 19, I turned on the TV (heh...) for a while before getting up to go into work for my monthly Saturday duty. The channel 7 morning news program had a story about it being the 100th anniversary of Farnsworth's birth, and I was inspired to carry that tribute in to work with me. I put up signs in the store announcing the centennial, and offered a one-day sale for anything in the store with a CRT (closest I could come, since we don't have any TV's...or Image Dissector tubes!). Only two people commented knowlegably on the event, I was sort of disappointed, but not too surprised. Most of the people were wondering who Philo Farnsworth was. I did post about it here, though!
