Wow, that brought me back. Such an awesome write-up. Thanks so much for sharing!
There was a running cultural joke at the time that no one knew how to program their VCR, everyone just had a flashing clock on the front.
Fan clocks didn't flash.
Oh, God, THIS!!! Which always, in my brain, proved the lie to the 'women aren't good with technology' bullshit that abounded (and still does). Because fuck that: I knew how to program my VCR and everyone else's.
