You can do the same thing with some 556 timers and skip looking for an old Atari computer.Quote:

I was firmly in the Commodore camp in the 80s.
My mom was 10 in 1978.
I would make a joke asking you about whether or not she's hot, ala "That 70's Show" style but there is no need for that.Quote:

I was working with a guy, about 26 he was. He was telling me about being at his mom's house with a date when his mom arrived home and started making out with her date on the couch when he walked in on them. He was naked and his mom and her date were half naked. SURPRISE!
Anyway he tells me the whole embarrassing story and how he got kicked out in the end, yada yada .. .. ..
Moment of silence ... then I said, "So is your mom hot?"
After the initial shock wore off, he started calling me "Kelso."
See, it is not so bad when it is not my mom that we are talking about.
I graduated high school in '78. Not a bad year at all, if I do say so.
i wasnt alive yet in 1978
damn, i was 12 in 1978.Quote:

I was 13 in '78. A long hair'd skateboarder and dirt-biking New Mexican teen who was already developing a insatiable taste for alternate realities.
It was also the year that most of the people who knew me started making predictions about my maximum life expectancy.
Definitely living on the edge. Fortunately, I lived long enough to become a boring East Coast suburbanite?
People are strange, but life is even stranger.
