[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 590980, member: 6705"] 8", 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy disks Tape drives MS-DOS and MS-BASIC - and NO MICE! Writing incredibly lengthy programs to make your computer play songs in a series of tones, lasting 20 seconds or less How cool it was to get a color monitor ZORK and other text-based games True Bulletin Boards Making a "mix tape" from real vinyl 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records Tape recorders you could carry around - not Walkmen! Transparency projectors Pneumatic tube systems in hospitals Coke machines where you put in your nickel then pulled a glass bottle out by its cap, then it locked again Round gumball machines that cost a penny Speaking of... Penny candy! [/QUOTE]
