My grandpa used to do this but he'd buy one for us too so my dad and I could figure it out and then go hang out with him while we set it up and showed him how to use it, which is how we ended up with cool shit like a universal remote control half the size of a cinderblock with an LCD on it in 1999.

RIP grandpa
