About those 3.5" floppies, which weren't floppy at all, unlike 5.25" version.... can you remember which disk you had to put back in the drive to change the keyboard language???

No neither can I now.....

I'm old enough to remember . . . you?

Ah yes I remember it well



[EDIT] 115 pgs. I don't know how I missed most of this thread. It's adorable what some of you think is old. Then there are posters who must have been born B.C.

No not that B.C.
Some great memories in this thread. Remember when it was car radios that needed a vibrator? One of the funniest bits of this great thread – from STripper's Hollywood Squares post:

Q. Paul, why do Hell's Angels wear leather?
A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily.

I remember laughing like crazy when I saw it (and all those others) "live". That one is still hysterically funny! And I'm only up to p.25.

What hath Shuey wrought! (Apologies to Mr. Morse.)

Getting used, and re-used, constantly.

Did anyone here put firecrackers in a tin can and place in a bucket with water and watch them fly?

 

[bdalameda]

Another fond memory - I used to play with these Jetex solid fuel rocket motors. I put them on all kinds of things from model airplanes to small cars. They ran on solid fuel tablets and fuse cord purchased at the hobby shop. Hours of flammable fun!!

Large firecracker laid in a sidewalk crack, place an empty Campbell soup can upside down over it. Balouie! Straight up!

when interior rear view mirrors were on the dash and the outside right mirror was an option

turning on the air conditioning meant rolling the windows down, turn the air conditioning on high meant opening the vent windows.

... exactly the kit my grandad had (mom's side), still remember the smell...



the thing was a shrine, no one except him was allowed to touch it...

 

[ST1100Y]
