    I just read that Robert Alder, the inventor of the ultrasonic TV remote passed away thursday! The man was given a Emmy for such a great achievement in 97.

   Such a great advancement for all mankind!

      RIP Robert!

Robert Alder

The day he invented this, i think the TV news reported that it was a small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

That's riduculous!!!

   Who ever loses the remote????

    I got in the habit of always placing it in the same place when done, doesn't matter where or when I go, back in the same place! It was a miracule!

   Even at my sisters, I made a funny joke about how simple it was and my niece even took to do it. One of those "habit" things, considering I'm OCD that's right up my alley!    

     Why can't mental disease have a good side??

Think of all the lives he saved. No more crouching
down, inches from the tube absorbing all that
radiation while spinning that damned knob!

Truly a man among men!
