Greetings,

HULU.com is open to the general public.

I hosts free TV & movies.

They have the first two seasons of "Lost in Space"
available. What is labelled as being the first
episode is, I think, the pilot. Dr. Smith and the
B-9 robot are not present; the plot is done straight
sf without the "camp" treatment. I don't think it
ever aired so you might be interested.

Yours in fandom,
J.R.

I don't think that was ever aired either. The aired "pilot" definitely
contains the robot and Dr. Smith, however it was not played campy at
all. It was very serious.

Rotary phones exist in my HOUSE!

Two of them, in fact.

Not all of the skills they list are truly obsolete. Rotary
phones still exist in a few places. (We saw one last night in a
movie set in Mexico.)

I had a nightmare a couple of nights ago in which I was desparately attempting to dial a rotary phone before something bad happened. I recall waiting impatiently for each number to cycle. Don't know what the bad thing was, but I suspect it was the phone!

And people tell me I'm weird because I'd like to get a slide-ruler for
our new house.

I have a slide rule on display in my living room bookshelf.

I also have a complete architectural/ structural drafting tools set.

I used to have a rotary phone (on display) as well, but I don't think I
do anymore.

I used to practice using hookflash to dial rotary phone pulses. It's a
useful trick if you ever need to dial 911 and the dial is broken.
