Man, I remember in the 80's, the year 2000 was supposed to be like this big deal...And, aside from hot twin Playmates, I'd say it went pretty smoothly...And yeah, I'm still waiting on my flying car too Daddy J, LoL...

ha, that reminds me.....I remember ABC used to play (they probably still do, notorious for endless re-runs) these made-for-school educational tv shows, by TV Ontario (Canada).

One of them was called Look Up about things in the future, new technology etc. And this fukin' crazy-spooky-crappy-looking animated space-agey purple shape that would fly around and talk, narrating the show. It wouldn't even have a mouth to speak out of! :shock:

Anyway, they had this story on an interview with a Canadian astronaught. Now this show was made, what, 1989 something?
He was pretty much SOLIDLY believing that by the year 2000, we would be having day trips to the moon and living in space! Just in 11 damn years!!!!!! is that cah-ray-zee or what? :?

We may have come a long way, but really it's just a nudge forward.

I used to hang out at Radio Shack learning how build programs on the TSR's in the early 80's.lol

My first computer was a Commodor 64. Anyone old enough to remember those? You had a cassette tape player that was your 'storage drive', cables to connect to your TV and to your keyboard and to a thermal printer. You had a book with BASIC programs to type into the cassette tape that you'd then run for your basic word processing or spreadsheet or games. The best you could hope for in games was Pong or Space Invaders.

Ahhhhh the good old days! LOL
