Think WWW and that spy thing with Robert Vaughn and Ilya Kuryakin ran back to back in the mid sixties. --Vic |

And the original WWW was much better than the remake movie. |

"Van Helsing" might qualify. Heck, maybe even Frankenstein and Willie Wonka. --Vic |

And the original WWW was much better than the remake movie. Man, when I was a kid I lived for UNCLE. Trouble is, we lived in a valley that pointed toward Syracuse NY, so we couldn't get the closer Rochester stations. Our TV consisted of very snowy black and white. I remember my uncle would watch the evening news every night, and some nights you could barely make out a silhouette (damn I love spell check) of a person! |

One could get old fashioned welders glasses and replace the earpieces with adjustable leather straps. I already have the clip on magnifying lenses. |
