This thread really rattled some of my memory marbles!
At 56 (as of August 30th) I'm forgetting more and more by the day... in fact... what were we talking about?? Oh yeah... LOL
I stopped at a "computer store" next to where my wife was shopping - they had all manor of very high tech build it yourself 'stuff'... (Check out the ANTEC brand "frame" instead of a box...) and we got to talking about how much we USED to pay for computers and printers -- like 4 GRAND for a laptop... and 4 Grand for "laser printers" etc... and then I mentioned the 1200 baud modem I had - neat little box with all manor of blinking LEDS and way kool dial tones it made while connecting... and the guy says "Man!! You had the fast one!!!"
The way he said it - I almost wet myself laughing so hard.
