BIMD you were allowed to smoke inside a restaurant or bar, but you'd get a fine if you were smoking on the patio.

BIMD we used to have the machines that kids could play with to see pictures of far away places. You would put a white cardboard disk with tiny little plastic pictures around the edge into it, hold it up to a light and then look into it like a pair of binoculars. Slide a lever on it and you could see all these amazing places.

BIMD we had these machines at school where you would put a clear sheet of plastic with writing on it onto a sheet of glass with a light underneath and it would shine up through a mirror and reflect the shadow of the writing onto a wall or a screen. Everytime you wanted to do a presentation you would have to get these special sheets of clear plastic paper to print on, or you could use special pens to write on the paper. You had to be careful to use the right pens though, cause if you used the wrong ones it would ruin the paper and that stuff was expensive!
