When Apple was in the crapper and no one wanted their computers


Apple computers sat in second hand thrift shops and STILL no one would buy one for pennies on the dollars!!!!!

Does anyone remember when we used to be excited to go to our friend's house to play Pong!?!

What do you mean "when"?

[hootyhoo]

........when you needed to make a call from the road and had to find a pay phone.

oh yeah! we'd go to his basement, that way his parents wouldn't smell it and...oh, wait...you said PONG!

........when you needed to make a call from the road and had to find a pay phone.

... Or when you wanted the call to be private you closed the door to the phone booth?

when finding a book in the library required flipping through a dewy decimal index file because you couldn't just google it?

When typing class was an actual course in school you got credit for?

[SCrid2000]

I took sveral typing classes and I still can't actually type.

...When the high beam switch was a button on the left front of the floor board of an automobile.

...When, in order to make a phone call from your car, you had to call the mobile operator?

[hootyhoo]

.....when you had to listen to the number of rings to know if the call was for you or your neighbors (party line for those who have no idea what I mean).

Anyone remember:

[highjakker]

television tube testers!
i know i'm not the only one who remembers these things! they'd be in the front of every grocery store, 7-11 and electronics store!

[pkcable]

When a pay phone only required 1 coin? a quater or a dime? or are you old enough or a nickle?

[highjakker]

when an album was an album!

[jlb21]

[highjakker]

my dad had something similar to this, 8 track and all!

[SRR500]

I remember listening to cassettes on an 8 track player via an adapter. It has a tendency to eat tapes that were longer than 60 minutes.

At the time it was a great piece of equipment. Didn't have to replace the huge cabinet stereo.
