Default Re: OT: I Remember When

I remember paying $2700 for my first 8086 computer, opting for dual floppies and 1 meg of memory(hard drives were non-existant).

I remember tweaking my first 14.4k modem to achieve 10k throughput speeds.

I remember bulletin Boards, because web pages were almost non-existent.

I remember when you didn't have to contribute to the insurance scam.

I remember when a verbal agreement was binding.
