Garry Moore was paid handsomely to smoke Winstons constantly on camera. Toward the end of his life he mentioned regretfully how they caused his terminal throat cancer.

Absolutely fascinating!! That's for posting this. It is nice to see old technology. It is nice to see technology that actually works. Unlike today's technology which does not work --- cough!! cough!!

Great. It sounds like a cross between a keypad phone and a melody greeting card. Perhaps this was the world first polyphonic (dual voice?) squarewave/ chip tune ever. (I only worry that the hering didn't taste that computer too well. Its not a smokehouse!)

When I was a kid in early 1980th, there was a TV show where spectators should make noises (shake a key chain, blow a bottle etc.) those were each sampled into the Fairlight CMI music computer (one of the very first samplers). Then to the big surprise of the audience (that didn't guess what the thing was) the strange big machine suddenly made music (jingle bells?) from the recorded noises.
