"you can store stuff you would never think of having on a PC

I love laughing at the past.

Hell, I still remember playing PC gamer Demo's on my mom's state of the art 120mhz laptop a few years ago..and farther back, I still rememebr the first time I saw Oregon Trail on a Macintosh IIc...as I kid, I was like "this is my new god"


hmmm...nostalgia..and to think that my dad could more storage on his digital camera than people had on their PC's during this time

I used to watch that back in the 80's when I was a Commodore 64 junkie. loved that show.

It is funny to see what seemed amazing at the time.
