Bleh. Installed Zoom on two Macs and iPad last week to “attend” city council meetings. The school bored just put meeting on YouTube instead. I thought the chief side effect was having the ‘70s “Zoom” theme song in my noggin.

We own an ‘01 Silverado and an ‘01 Grand Am. I had to check Web to learn what head units are. Guess I should stop buying Apple gear and save for new rides. 

Nah. 

What's your point? You have nearly twenty-year-old cars. Besides CarPlay there are many other features (safety among them) your cars are lacking. But nobody is going to force you to upgrade.

My intent was not primarily to trombone my ignorance nor to boast of the insanely economical value provided by our 20-year-old General Motors vehicles. Nay, t'was merely a note of the passage of time: At some point, the hole in the board's dash became the space for a Head Unit, which seemingly became such a commonplace term that it no longer required explanation. Meanwhile, a dotard who is modern on land with Apple products gets to enjoy a Head Unit (which as a dual-DIN could be replaced ... thanks, AI!) that lacks a functional CD, with FM that only appears, inaudibly, through the cracked front speakers,  but can reliably produce two AM stations via the rear speakers.

So, yeah, prolly no point, eh? Just enjoying life, learning about Head Units and whatnot. Stay Punk. (Or whatever genre grabs you.)

I suspect in reality, the Simpsons would be Android users...

Depends when this screenshot aired. Maybe Homer has gotten a raise or promotion since then?

Aired May 1996. Net is $597.14 adjusted for inflation. That would net him $31,051.28 a year. (Net figures include Bear Patrol Tax.)

I'd say this is enough for Apple products for Christmas/birthdays. Of course assuming he hasn't had any raises adjusted for inflation.

He might get a pension as a retired astronaut.
