Start of the eighties: Getting to retire my leg braces and being free to walk around unencumbered for the first time in three years.

Collecting beer cans. That was back when you could still find the old steel cans. Aluminum cans look like ass in comparison.

walking into the local pizza hut, smelling the pizza cooking, sitting down and playing bubble bobble for hours on end.

Discovering computer and video games.

They have certainly helped make me the unambitious, procrastinating, and overall lazy person I am today.

I'm disappointed... nobody picked the obvious geeky answer, and choose an actual memory technology from the 1980's.

I guess that all the uber-nerds have all migrated back to Slashdot :)

Video games, Space Camp, Disney Trips.

To many to list or to pick just one.

The 80's were sweet.

1984, Van Halen.

The entire summer of '86...when I was not at work in a greasy spoon washing dishes I was either high, drunk or both every damn day. No bills, no worries, still living at home, did not give a shit about anything.....*sigh*
