Quote: I remember our first microwave oven. We had the first in town. It weighed........200 pounds.
I hate to age myself, but.... My dad worked for Raytheon in New Hampshire. He was on the project that built one of the first microwaves. It was the Amana RadarRange, back in the early 60's. I remember going to the lab and seeing it. A very large stainless steel unit that could take a hot dog from frozen solid to burned to a crisp in 1 minute. *chuckle* I can still remember the sales pitch. My dad took out this frozen hot dog and banged it against the counter showing it was frozen solid before he put it in the oven. As a 5 yr old , it was very impressive...
