What in the world would we do without our remote controls?

Monk…you got stuck doing that too? I had to change the channel for my older sisters and brother. So much for being the "baby" of the family…. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

Thank you sir for your great invention.

RIP

I remember the remote I had when I was little. It was to a Zeneth and it made that clicking sound to change the channels. Hence calling it 'The Clicker.'

If memory serves it had 2 buttons on it. But anyway it did go click click click…those were the days…better to have the clicker then the clap.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but it ONLY controlled channel change, not volume control OR power. Those still had to be adjusted manually.
