It was 1984 and I was playing with my band at this club in Minneapolis, and I was working hard on being the best and the best band at the club but there was this rival band that had this one really good song and everyone was really digging it, but I knew I could write much better songs than this, also I was a much better showman than the guys in that band, hell one guy sang while this other guy just danced around him holding a mirror .

So one night I was doing a gig with the band, and out of nowhere this beautiful girl comes into the club, and is watching me do my thang, so I wanted to impress her, so I started singing one of my new songs while looking straight into her eyes, and then I thought to myself "this would be a good time to start humping the stage" so,,, I did and it worked like a charm and after the show she got on the back of my bike and we went down to the lake where I got her to take off her clothes and jump in the lake, then I took her clothes, jumped on my bike, laughed at her then took off...

Later that nite, she came to my crib and gave me the most incredible guitar that I had ever seen... That nite I wrote a song that would put me and my band over the top and finally beat that band with the guy that flapped his arms while singing and the other guy holding a mirror. That nite I wrote a song about RAIN. And it made me richer than I could have imagined, I then dumped all of my bandmates, changed my name to a symbol and got even more filthy rich.

my "recall a time you were treated unfairly" based off Green Mile was actually approved...
I don't think they even read those things....

Aah, I totally still remember getting excited when 56k modems first dropped below $100...and that seemed cheap (though that would have been quite a bit later...dude, the computer I played Carmen Sandiego on when I was 10 still had a Pentium chip)

Yeah, they did not come out with the pentium until after the 80486 models. I am glad they got rid of that silly modem sound bite noise they used to have.

OOOO Steve also played like a 15 min version of Jungle Love...

I know have a mashup of like 5 Steve Miller Band songs swirling around in my head like cartoon moths.

Time to fire up the SMB Youtube channel and get them out of there.

So three months ago I got in contact with my high school boyfriend. We dated from 1992 until he moved across the country in 1994. We have talked everyday for the passed three months. We have talked about the past and the present. Talked about everything and anything. It's been great. This weekend he is coming down and this will be the first time in 24 years we see each other and I am nervous but excited AF!! I just had to tell someone, so I telling all y'all.

This is so true. I think I'm up over $50 for just this week alone. They just keep showing up from surveys I forgot all about.

Don't get me wrong. I'm psyched about how much faster Internet speeds are now...but that sound takes me straight back to high school

2 more questions to answer still for Surveycomet and I am so over it

 

[klingeemonster]

Right? I remember when I got my first laptop for like $1800 and thought that was a massive bargain, lol.

I bought my first computer with Win 3.1 from a coworker who was upgrading. I then spent many hours in Fry's Electronics buying all the upgrades I wanted and installing them in the computer. I pulled a dumb move and fried my mother board while installing a new graphics card (which was like 12" x 4" in measurement, lol) and it was still VASTLY cheaper for me to buy an entirely new mother board. And RAM. Don't get me started. I recently found some old RAM chips I replaced back in the day, lol. I had thrown them in a box with old computer components and it was tucked in the way back area of my garage.

Believe it or not I still have computer parts from back then, I even have the old floppy disc with windows 3.1 on it. and DOS floppys

I feel old. I was working well before 56k modems became common. I remember the excitement of being able to send an order via modem rather than phoning it through. But then I also remember the same companies still using modems until about 4 years ago (OK adsl ones, but still, their computers had been using high speed fibre for ages).

I was walking to the store fairly early one day a couple weeks ago and for whatever reason, there were 3.5" floppies scattered all over the sidewalk. I was legit scared I'd woken up in a time warp for a solid 10 seconds...haven't seen any of those things in years

I still have that first Toshiba laptop (It's a portable hard drive now, lol. Has all my stuff from Grad School on it, original battery, still works awesome!). And I still have a Zip Drive and like 15 Zip Disks. Recently found my old 56K modem next to those RAM chips (that was such a huge jump over those 28s!) . And yep, I still have the old 3.1 floppies!

For me, some of it is that I just need to get off my rear and take them to the appropriate recycling places, lol. I don't even have a computer with a floppy drive anymore!!

The 486 had a 15 k modem on it and that was fast as it got for a few years.
