I love that. I will never forget since I still have a lot of some of those things and I have no plans of parting with them either.

I have some, too.

HOLY COW! Look how much it cost for a 10 megabyte hard drive.

Geez, that's outrageous pricing even by today's standards (and there has been lots of inflation since the 80's). We've come along way from 10 MB.

I would never pay that price.

Did you all look at the fine print? That was the price for factory rebuilt! Brand new would have cost even more!!

Who remembers these? Ugh! Hated them so much. Wiping the transparency film and getting ink all over you. So glad we don't use them anymore.

Wiping them off was a real drag!

Making transparency copies was a pain, too. Ugh! So glad we have visualizers now. No more transparencies!

I remember teachers back in the day writing on those things. Thankfully, I hardly ever had to. I do remember getting ink on my hands even when barely touching the thing!

They were awful! So glad I don't have to use one anymore.

It is strange. The front of it is like a mirror.

So clunky! I can't say I have personally seen a VCR like that in person.

I can't say I ever had that problem. Lol. My crushes were also friends so it wasn't out of the ordinary for me to be on the phone with them. I always made sure everyone knew I was on the phone!
