Who used to own this bad boy?

My dad had one of those when he was in high school, I think. I had a scientific calculator when I was that age......it was purple and turquoise. Times sure have changed, eh?

My parents still have our old 286 computer in the basement with the big floppy disks. And I think the "Family Feud" disk still works on it!



My grandmother STILL has a Zach Morris cellphone. I crack up everytime I see it.

Hey, I think it's cool that your grandma was hip enough at that time to even have a cell phone!

Oh, I was all about that Oregon Trail. I used to purposely starve to death because I just couldn't bring myself to shoot that buffalo. He looked so sad, like he was pleading with me, who was I to tell him 'no'?

Who still has one of these? Mine's out in the garage.


Hey, it's not that old, but you know what? You have a blast from your past...I have mine

I think my parents sold mine at a garage sale a number of years ago. They actually got quite a bit for the system and all of the games.

I remember when I got it for Christmas I was seriously pumped, especially for the hockey game (where you could either be the skinny guy, medium-sized or the fat guys).

Dude, what the heck is that robot?

We didn't have any until SNES.. though my cousin had a joystick game.

Did you know...
The keyboard was designed to be inefficient. The placement of the letters was designed to take a while to type, so that people on typewriters would make fewer mistakes and wouldn't have to start over as often.

that's Nintendo's R.O.B., the Robotic Operating Buddy, that came along with moe.ron's NES. it was a periphreal gimmick, like the power glove, or the pad you run on. i never used one, but i hope they're like that robot from the movie Short Circuit.

I really liked SNES; I think that if I had the time, I would probably get an old used one and play it every once in a while.

For right now though, I barely have time to play any of my PS2 games.

Remember when Sega released Madden Football and the game could talk? I had that game when it first came out and I was the man.

I think I wanted Sega only for that game. I was glad when it came out on SNES.

It's funny how much the game has changed, to compare Madden '05 and '06 to the original Madden.

This was my first computer experience:



Then I had the Apple IIe...

In high school we had the Trash 80's



Then in college, I had the first laptop--which was a heavy suitcase bomb-looking thing... And I wound up getting a typewriter anyway... I think it was a Sharp, still have it somewhere.

In grad school they only had Apple's and I witnessed the evolution of computers and printers... Good thing I learned to cross platform relatively easily...

Now, I have a Dell desktop... Haven't advanced to the laptop stage with wireless. But I did have an old Handspring PDA. Then I got a Dell Axiom X3 PDA--which is probably outdated.

Dayum, should've become a hacker, 'cuz I was into that stuff as a kid... Coulda made hella loot...

I've recently been on a Nintendo NES kick... I can almost beat Super Mario Bros., but I can't get past Bowser in the last castle.
