- you think of the gadgets in your office as "friends."
- you think your computer looks better without the cover.
- you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as is."
- you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance.
- you think jokes about being unable to program a VCR are stupid.
- the salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.
- the microphone at a meeting doesn't work and you rush up to fix it.
- you have a neatly sorted collection of old bolts and nuts in your garage.
- you own a set of itty-bitty screwdrivers and you actually know where they are.
- you just don't have the heart to throw away the 100-in-1 electronics kit you got for your ninth birthday.
- you have never sat through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz.

I can't seem to make out the second to last instrument name. Does anyone else know what it says?

I think it says "Xylo" hero.

I set it to 400% size and it is still not totally clear. The second, third, and fourth letters look to be YLO and the first could be X. The second word is definitely "Hero" and the instrument looks to be a xylophone!
