Ah, yes. The anonymous, random heavy-breather. I miss being able to do that. I miss receiving them too, if I'm really honest about it.

I remember as something like a 7 year old, going to a friends house and they had a new colour TV.  They played around with the colour knob turning it to b&w and back to colour.

I then went home and tried to do the same thing on our b&w tv

When you remember seeing the words 'Colour TV" on the big sign outside the motel you were driving around looking for.

Indeed!
Colour TV were the free WiFi of the 60s and 70s

There's parts of Oklahoma that still have these signs!
