I remember when,.......

[Pinball Wizard]

The first time (Sep 67) I smoked Hash; some Iranian exchange students had gotten a CARE package from home, with about a pound of HASH in it. I had done some small favor for them about a week earlier. They invited me over.

That's when I learned I don't like Brass Hash pipes!..but the hash was good.

I remember when $40 bags of "Gold" was a big splurge!

 

[noodle]

A packet of tabs and a box of strikes only cost £1

 

[Chevy cHaze]

when a scoop of icecream was 20p (Pfennig) in Germany, that was 0,2 "deutsche Mark" (curency before the euro) and every evening in summer there would be a man in volkswagen bully ice cream truck ringing a bell in the street and everyone would flock there to get icecream.

when, "Old Fart Section" of Overgrow was very small! (approx 20 years ago)

I remember having to choose between "Betamax" or VHS when I purchased my first VCR.

Having to migrate from 4 track to 8 track...then going quadraphonic 8 track--before buying my first cassette player.

LOL, I even had a 8 track recorder to make my own "music mix" tapes. Of course those were the days when we went to concerts with a portable reel to reel tape machine to record concerts groups...like the Dead. Bootleg tapes is what we called them...and I sold them to record stores for $2-3 each--usually 6 at a time. Bootlegs were always in white cartridges...while the "real ones" were usually in black cartridges.

This is sort of a subconscious remembering, I guess. Has anyone else been driving with the driver's side window down and reached down for the handle to roll it back up when you've not driven a car without power widows for decades?

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I remember when there was 4 farthings to a penny, 12 penny's to a shilling, and 20 shillings to a pound.

That's before decimalization, so if you also remember it, you must be at least into your 50s, because it was back in February 1971, 47 years ago, that Britain "went decimal" and hundreds of years of everyday currency was turned into history overnight.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 with cassette tape, my second computer was an Apple II with a pair of 5 1/4" floppy disks, and my third computer was an IBM CP/M operating system that had both 5 1/4" and 8" floppy disk drives...and I was styling!

Has anyone beside me--wrote machine-code programming for 8088 microprocessors?

 

[pinkus]

I formulated my first computer query with PUNCH CARDS!

 

[DocTim420]

Ahh, yes! And remember the infamous warning? Do not fold, staple or mutilate.

My first computer was a Kit from MIT. My soon to be brother and law gave me a little kit computer with a small motherboard and with a phone in my ear I got the keyboard and monitor working. It didn't do much, I think it had an 8000 series CPU.

So.... I started writing machine code as that was all there was.

I loved the Wild West computer days, you had to think everything up yourself.

Texas Instruments were the up and coming better than sliced bread technology. How far we've advanced since then....
