Microwave ovens were around before Star Trek.

Now that would be a story....no, I just got away from it. Mostly I used to be on here at work, but work started blocking this anything else game related now. So I drifted away, no excuses.

Nah, I remember PK from before his "exile"...

I think you and he would get along well, CP, maybe over a beer and a bowl of chili. 🙂

and quotes from that web page--->>>

quote 1
Sure, but they were also extremely expensive, the technology was crude, and nobody bought them. Most Americans didn't have microwave ovens in their homes until the 1970s.

quote 2
I remember when we got our "radar range" in the mid 1970s. The joke back then was that the only thing people knew how to cook in their microwave ovens was popcorn.

The thing is that that my dad still had that beast up until two years ago when I got rid of the old "Radiation Master" and replaced it with a new microwave that has made his life a lot easier.

quote 3
In the mid-1950s, the promise of our food future was the push button. The microwave oven was still decades away from becoming a mainstream reality in the American kitchen. But soon — very soon — all your food would be cooked automatically in just a matter of seconds!

It matters not that your personality is not great.
