Imagine hearing dial-up tones again. Kids today would ask: "what is that?"

I remember when we loaded computers from casette tapes. I also remember thining how cool it wa that they came out with color ones that had pictures.

My first time on the net, we killed the pics in order to get pages to load. Text only; pics mae it SLOW....

My first computer had no storage at all. I had a book next to the computer and you had to type the code for the program you wanted to use each time you turned it on. It was a HUGE day when we got a tape drive to store the programs we would write so we didn't have to type for an hour to get a program to run.

I'm pretty good at typing though...

Oh the days... We used to listen to music by spinning this huge black disk with spiral canyons cut in it. We drug a boulder through the canyon... The boulder was connected to a coil if wire or a magnet, and it made this tiny electrical voltage we had to amplify the crap out of... Oh also, you had to apply this thig called an RIAA EQ curve in order to get any bass out of the system...

You only got about 22 minutes of music from the big black disc... On one side any way... You could turn it over and drag a boulder through a canyon on the other side....

Geeez yall must be old....I miss my '66 Mustang ragtop with the Craig 8 track sound system.

[Ewok]

Yeah, I'm not that old, but I miss my brothers 75 280Z. He's getting a frame up restoration done in LA.

I remember dropping my punch cards on my way to my Computer Science final in HS. Did not do well on that one... We were also learning on the TRS-80 Tandy computer

[thtrog]

Let's hit the road, later!

[skyski_tige]

The 280z were cool - My dad had one and it was like a rocket car - there is a 260z in a storage lot down the road. It has not moved in 5 years.
