I grew up in the strange time where the cars we got as "hand me downs" had 8-track players. At a yard sale we found an 8-track to cassette adapter, and then put one of those cassette to line input adapters to have a discman playin

I remember seeing one of the first Pentium's, it was either a 60 or 66mhz, but it was STUPIDLY fast. Way faster than any 486 we had at the time. We were just watching someone play Windows 3.11 solitaire on it and laughing when they won
