When I first saw this laptop shade (which would sure come in handy by the sandbox this summer) I was immediately struck by its similarity to a microfiche reader.

In the early 90s I had a great job that paid me by the hour to browse through reels of old patent illustrations on microfilm, just looking for cool illustrations for an arty magazine.

I was sent to the BPL with bags filled with rolls of quarters. I still remember, I got paid 8 bucks an hour.

Them were the days.
