We're going to have to get new signs put up beside the Disabled and Family parking spots at Walmart and the mall.

We was worth a pretty penny for a while, but held it too long until it crashed. He was a true believer. Still did pretty well for himself, but could have cashed out during the peak.

+1 for the VIC-20. It was my first, and I got the cassette recorder too. After the Commodore my uncle bought me an Apple IIe with 80-column card, a Hayes 300baud modem card, and dot matrix printer. I hosted a crappy text based BBS.

You know your old when you remember "Duane's Garage" BMW forum.
Trouble is, I don't remember the name of the earlier BMW BBS that Duane's Garage spun off from. Anyone? It had Jim Conforti, the UUC guys before they started & were just hiding purchases from their wives.... |

When 75% of the stuff at Radio Shack were discrete components...
Last time I went into one in 2010 looking for a Resistor, the clerk point me to a 4' x 6' panel at the far corner https://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/i...#main_catalogs |

I know what you mean, in this case when I told him that in the old days the store would be full of discrete components. Turn out that he has been there for about 30 years + and he also miss the the Old Good Days.
