The old 0.049 engines (Twin B's?), yeah, remember them well. Had my best flight without strings!!! Just got the balance right and let her rip. Went up about 300-400 feet and just looped over our heads... nearby city workers thought I was doing some amazing remote controlled tricks! Surprised the heck out of them when we told them no remote.... plane landed after about 5 minutes not 50 feet from where we let her go... amazing.
I also remember Pong.. have been a video game addict ever since...
Playing baseball against Larry Walker as a teenager....
Skiing before the moguls got butchered by snowboarders...
Speaking of skiing, remember when skies had "safety straps"? Nothing like having two weapons strapped to your legs attacking you mercilessly as you tumbled down a double black diamond post wipeout.
Speaking of wipeout, remember that song?
What about "Pop Rocks", the candy?
My first (THE first) Discman... about the size of a paperback novel and took 6 "D" cells.... that with a pair of Bose Roommates blew the doors off most stereos at the time...
The first school computer... which we programmed in Basic... and had the power of roughly what is now in your typical coffee maker....
Typewriters that took a lot of effort... and a lot of whiteout...
