For younger folks on Usenet: remember what it was like when the Public Harmony Acts were in full effect?

We thought we were watching a live concert in a distant stadium. We had no idea the crowd roar was a synthesizer loop.
Everyone on our dorm floor huddled around a 25-inch Radiant Television console with the blinds drawn.

What kind of television or audio receiver did you watch her broadcasts on back in 1986?

We had a Zenith console in our basement. My brother and I held up lighters to the TV screen during 'Threshold'.
