"My husband wants a
selenimum rectalfire, a silicode capasitator, and a 16 bome appleflyer." That
is the caption of one of the "Hobnobbing with Harbaugh," comics that appeared
in the June 1962 edition of Popular Electronics magazine. Dave Harbaugh's
"Hobnobbing with Harbaugh" was a monthly feature for a couple years that dealt
with stereotypical (pun intended) behavior of technophiles and their often unwilling,
often unwitting wives, girlfriends, kids, parents, workmates, and neighbors.
