The funny thing is that it was only a few years ago when I got my first iPod and I remember trying to explain to people what it was and why it was cool.

I had that experience with an ATM card. I lived in KC and had ATM's all over the place. moved back home to small town MO. and was asking the banks if they offered ATM cards and they looked at me like I was crazy. they'd never heard of them before.

we used to have the texas instruments Ti994a. awesome computer for the time, had to use a tape recorder like that to run certain programs though

after this puppy i moved on to the iconic IBM pc 80808 with a badass mcga green screen i eventually converted into a cheap television set. used to have a picture somewhere of me watching the matrix on it.

I remember when you used to be able to get $5 from an ATM.

we've supposedly got one as well, the really funny thing is after i inhereted the 80808 it was still the only ''internet capable'' pc we had at the time. Was always a trip watching my dad dialup the bbs at his office to adjust his schedule

and that was probably a good 5-10 years before normal people knew there even was a net
