I can check off most of that huge list as, skills I don't use any more.
When they make selling and lovin obsolete, for the love of God someone put a bullet in my head.

I missed the one where it said. "Successfully creating a link to another site." Just kiddin'!

But I did get a laugh out of a bunch of them, "Placing A Coin On A Tonearm To Prevent Skipping" including this one!

Well based on some of the hugely overweight people I've seen, these are appropriate:

Exercise
Going outside

I recently gave away a Beta VCR and a buncha tapes. I also gave away a VHS VCR that had the individual tuning knobs for each TV channel.

However, I still have a turntable and Laserdisc player (and know how to use them).

You don't need to use a coin if you've got a properly adjustable tonearm. Man, what would that do to record wear, anyways? <shudder> I try not to abuse my vinyl like that.

BTW, my first job wasn't on that list, but it is obsolete now: CUTTING RUBYLITH which was replaced by Photoshop/Quark

Not accounting for the several duplicates I found, I was able to check off 263 items on that list. I still do a few of 'em, too...

Cleaning fish
Cooking
Faxing a document
Shave with a straight razor
Wearing a hat
