My 1995 Subaru car stereo is still cassette.
Ultralightweight doors and frame. Free-flow injectors. OBD2 bypassed. Open headers. Sometimes locking differential. Race car.
Never even used the cleaner/degausser tapes.
Volume knob broke but I'll probably superglue it back on in the springtime.
Or save the money and drive it into the ocean.
Meh.

When they made portable music players smaller must have about the time they made overly dramatic kids so annoying! There were one or two kids in that video that sounded reasonably intelligent and were tolerable, the rest needed a good slap.

Bonus points if you can tell me what baud means. (Hint, it predates computers...)

That guy, Emile Baudot or something... my first modem was a Hayes 2400, so I’m a bit younger. I just happen to learn computer history. Starting with Charles Babbage, the ENIAC, the EDVAC...

Left my phone at home yesterday. Only needed it one time, and there was a courtesy phone at the grocery store where I could call.

I dated myself by asking the cashier where a payphone was. She had no idea where one was. The lady in front of me, carting groceries away, mentioned the better question was "Does she know what one is?" She did, and there is phone over there, just dial 9 1st. Smooth operation in short time. However, the people nearby were wtf'ing as I went about business.

Roll it back to better times.

When we had only a dial phone in my house...

I dated a girl whose number was

889-9899

Even trying to power dial... that number took forever...

And that is a number I will always remember...

Yes, because scrounging around for a quarter to make a phone call off a payphone is better times. You should discard your cell phone for maximum good times! You should also send your auto-mobile to the crusher and ride around on a pony. Then die of cholera. Better times!

Maybe my AKAI reel to reel will be worth a few bucks some day. Along with my Dynaco pre amp and power amp.

Wasn't AKAI Sony's second brand?

reel to reel decks are probably at the zenith (a pun!) of their value right now. If it is a nice one its worth something.
