Saw this on Jeff K1NSS's web site, thought people here on the Island would want to get the skinny on this important innovation.

What makes it so funny is that everything he says sounds so plausible. I'll bet you could use that video to sell a load of obsolete junk to some non-techie business types.

Huh, interesting link on that page:

Apparently, the Turboencabulator has been a long-running joke in engineering circles. I had no idea.

Bud Haggert, that's the dude. I've seen him in other films.

Sorta like Troy McClure from The Simpsons. :lol:
