Nothing to do with the weather (no disrespect to anyone either): Wow! I have not seen a Radio Shack/Realistic weather radio "Cube" for years!

my grandma has one of those... they still make them

[SpeakerFreak95]

@thecooldude9999 the new ones suck.

[thecooldude9999]

@SpeakerFreak95 yeah they do, and my grandma died :( so now i own one of those, pretty bad reception around here. my nice radio shack one does better.

[SpeakerFreak95]

@thecooldude9999 im sorry to hear that.

do you know when noaa switch to voice-text? i had a weather cube in the late 80s and i recall the broadcasts being done by actual humans...

[kenshin891]

@Zazalooch I believe sometime in the late 90s

WOW my babysitter had that radio in 1984

[fixman88]

Wow, I remember when the Weather Radio had actual humans. I have the new version of the Radio Shack WeatherRadio cube (it's red and has a big gray button on top you push down with an led light.)

[kingdomboost]

Yeah, but I miss the human ones too. Kinda nostalgic really.

[Screwball518]

now i see why NWR switched to computer voices

[Zazalooch]

@Screwball518 yeah, computers need jobs more than humans!
