For Christmas that year, I got a Porta-Flix. This was a ripoff of that handheld Fisher-Price toy film player with the big advantage that, unlike its predecessor, it was battery-operated and ran by itself instead of having to crank it. (I wonder why this didn't last long?) The "movie" I got with it was clips from a "Star Trek" episode.

1978 - Desperate times for myself. I repeated Grade 11 at school so when Exam times came I would have been in the same classroom as the love of my life.(Grade 11s shared classrooms with grade 9s at exam time.)
Heaven knows where she is now.

End Quote
Come to think of it, being able to play something backwards and in slow motion was pretty neat. You couldn't do that with the Porta-Flix like you could with the Fisher-Price. (such as seeing the "7 chocolate cakes" guy from Sesame Street "fall up" with the cakes stacking up on the plate)
