I remember when ...

[ChrisC]

Computers came with 32KB of RAM. I have just received a 64GB micro SD card costing £15.

[Tortuga]

I remember when RAM was around $40 a meg..

[Brother Arellano]

... and AOL CD-ROM's flowed into my mailbox more frequently than my Watchtower and Awake!.  

[Sheep]

I remember the Abacus. (really old computer)

[Luezette]

I remember when there weren't computers. Just typewriters, manual and then the electric ones.

So because there weren't computers, everything was filed in drawers and a job opening went like this: "Looking for a file clerk. $1.50 an hour."

I remember secretaries had to know shorthand, mostly Pittman.

I also remember when (you got me started, lol), a gallon of milk was $1 as in one quart was .25, and not homogenized, a loaf of bread was a quarter, a large snickers was a quarter and so on.

I remember when women were so respectful of themselves that even if their bra strap showed, they practically had a fright.

I remember to wear red lipstick or red fingernail polish was identifying yourself as a "lady of the night."

I remember gentlemen.

I remember gentlemen who wore real, what I call "a man's pants" or trousers, not these tight things called pants.

[Tortuga]

I remember when the donut truck would drive through the neighborhood..

Then it must feel good to be a part of Jehovah's organization, where men are still gentlemen, and wear appropriate apparel. 

[Luezette]

Oh yes Steven. Absolutely!

[Luezette]

I remember when the ice man (truck) would come through the neighborhood. First it was horse drawn, then a truck.

I remember learning how to use a slide-rule in High school!  Those were the first manual computers, and they worked without batteries!

[On the huh]

I remember going to the computer store to buy Windows 95 Upgrade.

[Brother Arellano]

I remember going to the computer store to buy Windows 95 Upgrade.

 

Yes! I remember that too! Windows themes like Jungle from Windows 98 were my favorite and least favorite thing from my PC back then. 

[boodles]

I remember using my laptop with Windows 95 up until about four years ago when I got a "new" laptop with Windows XP.

I'm sure I remember when RAMS were around $40 an animal too, but since there's been an economic downturn for Farmers in NZ - we usually call our cows meg not the rams they have more musculine names usually but hey - each to their own.

Multiply by adding logrithms, just makes sense.

[kejedo]

We had a vic-20

[kejedo]

I remember when people uttered the word 'Pentium' like it was the pan-ultimate. I also remember Pong, and when Burgertime was produced by Nintendo. Nintendo was not a system then.

[bagwell1987]

I remember reading novels and listening to LP's and skimming the foam off the crock of beer in the living room. Churning butter while watching The Waltons and M.A.S.H., listening to The Statler Brothers and Merle Haggard while ironing my work uniform and watching Perry Mason while I ironed dad's  Sears uniform's. Splitting kindling and going "out" to the freezer and bringing in some meat and loaves of bread. 

 

All before the computer era, where the technology grew so fast I can't even keep up with what we went through. From 16 bits to Windows '95 now being bugged to upgrade to windows 10, which I'm terrified of. I want it all to stop. I just want to enjoy today. Just want to live in the moment and savor it. 

[coony77]

I remember my beloved walkman and the time I spent hours somewhere without beeing accessible by mobile phone - and NOBODY CARED!
