I should have been 18 in 1967-1972...that would have been amazing.
Then you would have gotten the peanut butter shot right in the rear end as you got ready to head out like many back those days. Mine came a bit later but those shots still hurt.

I was there from 68/69To get drafted and go to Vietnam?
Once a month my friends and I went to Fry's and "borrow" their $1000 CDR drive with SCSI card to do a burn marathon, then return it.LAN parties were awesome! Quake II, RTCW, Unreal Tournament, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon...etc. Back when 3DFX was still around. You could get a Plextor or a few other brands of CD-RW drives, many of them SCSI initially, that would not do error correction and could burn discs that had "copy protection" which was just basically intentionally placed bad sectors on the CD.
To not have been stoned 24/7. What a waste of time. And now they’re gonna legalize it? At least you’ll never get jumped by a bunch of stone heads like you would a bunch of drunks. Is that what they call progress?To get drafted and go to Vietnam?

As expensive as a Plextor SCSI drive was, when I had a SPARCstation5 at home, it was cheaper to attach an external Plextor SCSI drive to it than to buy the Sun branded driveA buddy of mine had an NEC Pentium 200 MMX. I installed an Adaptec SCSI card and I think it was a Plextor SCSI 4x CD-RW drive so we could burn CD's, I think it cost him a fortune at the time, lol.
My previous Explorer had a factory CrO2 compatible cassette player.I've still have the original factory AM/FM cassette player in the mustang. I never want to upgrade it because I believe the sound quality is far superior to CD's.
Nailed hard enough … that Mo-parh “392” sounds better than any stereo … and I like good sounding audio …I went out of my way and bought a gas guzzling 6.4 V8, specifically because the age of EVs and natural resource preservation is upon us. As selfish as it may sound, I always wanted a big American V8, and thought that if I don't get one now, it may be harder/more costly to acquire one in the future, when I'm retired.
Not a big AM radio fan, but I have no problem listening to FM radio (non HD).
Also, one of my cards looks like this:
My '63 Chevy II would occasionally refuse to turn over. I learned how to jump the Solenoid with a heavy screwdriver or even the jack handle. Knowing how to do that came in handy when someone's '63 Impala wouldn't turn over. "Stand back folks, now hand me that jack handle."Well, I am old, and grew up with all the old style things, and still like them. Sure a lot of the new stuff is better in some ways, but most of it just doesn't seem to last like the old not as efficient stuff did. I am not saying that newer vehicles don't run more miles than the old ones, because obviously they do, but When they do break, It is take it to the garage and pay the big bucks to have it fixed, because I have no idea where to even begin. I like points, not because they work or last better(because they don't) but because if there is a problem, like one time in a snowstorm when my 63 chevy 6 cylinder acted up badly on the way to work one morning, and I jumped out and snapped the points a few times and away I went running like new again. I like carburetors because I understand them, but if the F.I. has a problem I have no idea how to fix it besides some cleaner in the gas. I am just an old fuddy duddy that doesn't like change. I drive new cars, but trade often so I don't have problems that I can't fix myself. OH, radios- I don't even care if my car has one, as I never turn it on anyway.
I was going on 19 in '67. Close enough.I should have been 18 in 1967-1972...that would have been amazing.
You are correct. Originally a "computer" was a person who computed. I believe computers were most often female.I still like the "original computer" ... no blue screen crashes or flaky updates required, and works good with no power.

I remember when my buddy got a 200 MMX with 32 megs of ram. Compared to my P100 with 16 megs, it was mind blowing seeing how fast the ending animation played when we won solitaire. The solitaire win screen animation was the default benchmark for processor speed.A buddy of mine had an NEC Pentium 200 MMX. I installed an Adaptec SCSI card and I think it was a Plextor SCSI 4x CD-RW drive so we could burn CD's, I think it cost him a fortune at the time, lol.
From what I heard they were stoned all the time back then too.To not have been stoned 24/7. What a waste of time. And now they’re gonna legalize it? At least you’ll never get jumped by a bunch of stone heads like you would a bunch of drunks. Is that what they call progress?
