Nope - 2004 STL (again) (because ISDN = It Still Drops Now and then)

  2004 Reading the screen

Maybe we can add a few predictions to this:

1974 Cranking the phasor
2004 Cranking the phasor (again)
2014 Setting the emitter delay and power level on the array network

1974 Terminating wire bundles on 66 blocks
2004 Terminating snake cables on newer (take your pick) blocks
2014 Connecting the DA net modular cables (which is possible 2005)

1974 Rigging the new Tx into the Tx building
2004 Moving the new Tx into the building with 2 strong guys
2014 Carrying the emitter modules to the towers in one hand

1974 Burying copper radials
2004 Burying copper radials (again)
2014 Burying copper radials (still)

1974 Trying to pass an audio proof in the middle of the night
2004 Trying to pass an NRSC mask in the middle of the day
2014 Trying to make IBOC pass an NRSC-5 mask anytime (on the 
     back of the pattern)

I'm sure some of you can think of a few more.
