remember when the whole family is sharing one $3000 computer in the family room (with dust cover when not used), instead of having 2+ desktops and a laptop in your own bedroom all to yourself?

remember the shock when you first see a pda with a colour screen (I did)?

Remember when you thought an 80 meg hard drive on that 286 computer was huge?

Don't Panic!

Remember when TVs had knobs. There wasn't an epidemic of obese Americans back then.

Remember when IDE was never considered fast

Remember when SCSI was around before IDE got fully implemented

Remember when spell checkers worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember when speed was defined by measurements!!!
Remember when SCSI was like a Corvette and IDE was like a Model T in speed stakes.

Remember when speed had nothing to do with who you talked to!
Remember when talking about IDE or SCSI you were not talking about any person
Remember when Family used to be spelled correctly
Remember when System used to be spelled correctly
