Twitter Poll; Do you know what this object is?

Do you know what this object is? Please vote on my twitter poll.




Apologies for routing you to my blog, but the mighty twitter would not let me combine an image and a poll.  So I set the poll up on twitter, and, the image on this post.  It was the easiest way I could think of.  Feel free to let me know if there is an easier way.

Anyway I came across an article in a newspaper that stated a large percentage of people did not know what the object in the picture was at the top of the post.  I could not believe this.  Is it the case that I am so old now?  I didn’t feel particularly old until I read the press report, and, now I feel positively ancient. I used to have loads of these in my childhood.  It could have even been considered in those days as being at the forefront of technology.

So please do not hesitate to vote, and, see it what I read is actually true.  Please vote honestly, and, don’t worry about hurting my feelings!

For information if you are wondering how I produced the image above, I composed it in a free open source graphics package called “GIMP”.  I am still getting to grips with this package at the moment, and, just a word of warning, it is not the easiest software to use.  The above image was my third attempt at getting it right, and, let’s face it there is not a lot to it!  This post has also been good for me in another way as it is the first time I have introduced an image in to a blog post, and, I must admit it look pretty good!
