They were the first in the neighborhood to have a remote control TV with the cord stretched across the floor to the handset that only my Dad controlled, to switch between the four available channels. <br />It was an event when they got the Radar Range, a monsterous microwave that my Mom took classes on to learn how to pop popcorn and defrost meat.
