V4Lers! I love reading the news and finding out weird and interesting things from around the world. I saw this today it made me feel young. For all those who don't know....yes, I was born in 1990. I am a youngin'. This article is about "tech" noises you'll never hear again. Being a 90s boy I can only remember 3 of the 13. Which tech noises do you remember?

I guess there must be some left in operation, rather than in the 'props' department of the drama school.

I loved our "props" in theatre. The one thing I loved in theatre was building the set.

I still have and use my 30+ year-old AT&T rotary phone as my "downstairs" phone. It's built like a brick outhouse, and IT ACTUALLY WORKS DURING POWER OUTAGES!! (That's a big deal out here in tornado/ice storm country!

I've "experienced" a couple of these in France...... I'd much rather go hide behind some shrubbery somewhere!

Also, the rest of the article....... this cracked me up: "Other suggestions include abolishing the practice of giving three banzai cheers at the annual meeting because too many shareholders having strong armpit odor."
