Technology.The Old. The New.

I looked at my sewing station and it just amuses me to see that my new sewing machine is on top of the stand from an old sewing machine (converted to the study room computer table stand), with the foot pedals both side by side.
Amused, I wiki-ed 'Sewing Machine' and further amused myself with the mechanism of this wonderful piece of Technology; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_machine
