BIMD for me covers a lot of time . . . . . . but lets talk 60's, 70's and 80's.

BIMD we were using slide rules instead of calculators in school. Seriously.

BIMD milk was delivered to your door in glass bottles.

BIMD a comic book was 15 cents.

BIMD the Leafs had yet to win their last Stanley Cup

BIMD man walked on the moon.

BIMD, the young were protesting . . . . now they're in their 50's and 60's and looking at the great unwashed Occupy movement with studied disdain. A 1970 Time Magazine cover . . . . that 20 year old young lady is now about 61 years old.



BIMD your television had CBC and, maybe on a good weather day, a couple of other stations from Calgary

BIMD the Red Deer Advocate daily newspaper was dropped off at your door at four in the afternoon . . . . . The Calgary Herald was also an afternoon paper and the Calgary SUN wasn't even a rumour yet.

Time Magazine had a cover story about the emergence of the personal computer in 1983. You know, like, what would you use it for?
