I have the A3KKY when UKZ returning. Yep, exactly. That whole line above the spacebar, you know, was for all of those controls. And then of course your ROGs, you know, volume up and down, scan left and right, and through songs, that type of deal. But yeah, man, tech is just wonderful. I think those daisy players for the talking books and newer generations of them used MP3s, if I'm not mistaken, because you could get a whole book on a disc, as opposed to the 8 to 20 cassette tapes back in the day. Man, I remember those talking books used to come in the mail in the big vinyl container. It had, you know, half a dozen tapes or whatever, you know, slowed way down to super slow speed when they were recorded, and then they were done on like 4-track. So each tape had 4 sides essentially. And I used to play around with the speed control on that old player that CNIB used to have for the tapes back in the day. Had those nickel cadmium batteries, you know, that barely could ever hold a charge even when the things – I remember when I got a new one of those talking book players one year, and it was something like $400, but it was mine, and it wasn't one of the rented ones. And the battery was great, man. For like the first year, you know, you could really run it down and charge it back up, and then after the first year it just started to go to crap like all the rest of them.
