Yea, you're right. Just started going back down memory lane.

Est. in 1983

Ah i love it.
I remember when that lighting speed pentium came out.
166mhz!!!!! WOOOT! It was blazing.
Damn CD burner back then was a luxury. You were lucky if you had zip drive to store 128mb to that fat disk! I usually rolled with 1.4mb floppy A disk, if not 0.9mb floppy B. LOL.

Man time is changing...

The only thing that is current is probably that BBQ grill on page 5. About the same price too. What inflation?

I had no idea the football player on the TVs was around that long.

FStop7 · 09-21-2011, 09:26 PM

Interesting to see how software that is now cheap/free was expensive as fuck back then.

Then: $60 for Norton Anti Virus
Now: AVG is free.

Then: $130 for Microsoft Front Page
Now: Any number of web design tools are free.

swaite · 09-21-2011, 11:25 PM

I had no idea CRT TVs cost so much! I can't even give the one I have away and it's in perfect shape. Great find, had fun looking at this.

Lagger1 · 09-22-2011, 12:17 AM

Rhythm & Grooves --> dope. Miss the 90's

Also good to see inflation hasn't rised since then, lol
