I'M WAITING FOR THE TRICKLE-DOWN.........

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED HIGH-TECH, FROM THE INSTALLATION OF PUSH-BUTTON WALL SWITCHES WITH INTERCHANGEABLE BACKPLATES THAT I INSTALLED IN MY PARENTS' HOUSE IN 1959.......TO INSTALLING AN OLD BAKELITE RADIO AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A DRAWER IN MY DESK, PLACING A POLE LAMP NEXT TO MY BED, WHICH WAS FLANKED BY WHITE PLASTIC JAPANESE LAMPS.........PERHAPS THIS WASN'T AS UNUSUAL IN HUNTSVILLE, HOME OF HUNDREDS OF PHYSICISTS AND AEROSPACE ENGINEERS...............I HAVE UTILIZED COMPUTERIZED LIGHTING AND THERMOSTATS FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, AND MY DREAM HOUSE IS A HOME LIKE BILL GATES; HOWEVER, I MUST WAIT FOR THE TECHNOLOGY PRICE-DROP!
