Remember when..

…A ten megabyte hard drive was considered monstrous (and expensive too!)

… “floppy” disks were actually flexible

… Those same “floppy” disks were 5.25 inches and you could only store data on one side of them.

… “640K of ram is enough for anybody”

… The only “color monitor” choices were amber, green or white text.

… Nobody had a “Graphical User Interface”

… Windows were something you opened to get fresh air

… If you had a mouse, you bought traps, poison or a cat to get rid of it.

… The first time somebody asked you “Which one is the ‘any’ key?”

… Everybody shared music by making copies on cassette tapes and NOBODY CARED

… Eight track tapes were everywhere

… Most “home computers” were built from kits or even just plans

… 1200 baud was considered lighting fast
