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 used a 5.25 floppy with 64k memory and no hard drives. Oh yeah and the orange or green monitor.

Remember when IDE was never considered fast
Remember when you wanted quick you'd go for SCSI

Remember when SCSI was around before IDE got fully implemented

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