Walkman!
Happy birthday to me! Jammin' to Olivia Newton John, singing "Physical" at the top of my lungs while plugged into my Walkman! Image from Wikipedia -
Atari!
Exciting Christmas as Santa left an Atari, our first gaming system. The whole family enjoyed Joust and Pac-Man, wearing out the joysticks within months. Many, many blisters from prolonged playing. Image from Youtube -
Papers made easy!
Entering high school, English classes are requiring typed papers, so Mom bought me a Brother electronic word processor! How awesome is it that I can now type, edit, then print my whole paper! Image from Wikipedia -
What are these? Flying saucers?
After already having the trauma of recording my Queen 33 LP's to cassettes, now we have these rainbow looking Frisbees? I have to admit, threading the pencil through the cassette is getting a bit old. Image from Wikipedia -
What's a PC?
Counting myself very lucky. College is now requiring homework be handed in on a floppy. Thankfully, my stepfather works for an office machine supply company and we now have a personal computer! -
You've Got Mail!
Mom finally gave in! We are now online! Well, at least we try to be. When the dial up isn't giving me a busy signal. Or someone doesn't call and bump me offline. And I had better hear that anticipated phrase when I finally connect, "You've Got Mail"!!!! Image from Pricenomics. -
Cellphone Craze
Moving on up in the world. Finally succumbing to the cell phone craze with the nifty Nokia. Since I'm in the field selling all day, this will come in handy. Better only be calling me off peak! Image from Wikipedia.
