I really like this picture; as an 80s child scene (parents, kids, sweaters, roaring fireplace) is the stuff dreams were made of, and I guess still are, as I'm an adult now and still don't have anything close to it.

Why dad, is that an oscilloscope on the coffee table? You know that mom and her dual floppy portable don't allow it to be out of the workshed.

DUDE! I so remeber that robot from an 80′s book called Robots In The Home. I've always prefered the Androbot TOPO robots though.

Here's the spiritual successor to the Heathkit bot:
