This was cutting edge tech… I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs…

        Oh boy. I remember seeing an 8 track system once… I was very curious, and honestly, I still don’t have any of the answers I wanted. They’re just no longer relevant. The tech was old when I was a kid.

        I used dial up, so anything that’s post-Internet, I’m probably older than. I still remember the idiot news anchors going “move over Internet, here comes the world wide Web”… They’re literally the same thing. What the fuck are you talking about?

        I grew up with a Bally Astrocade from birth. My dad had bought the tape peripheral, but I don’t think he knew what the hell to do with it. Just sat in the box.

        We had dozens of cartridges for it though. I think he just liked buying new tech, because I never saw him playing it.
