I’ve still got mine from university days. Back then, you weren’t a proper physical scientist without one, any more than you could be a doctor without a stethoscope. So I guess I’ve kept out of nostalgia.

Yep! I learned how to drive in a Rumbler, I mean Rambler that had one of those.
My first half dozen cars were 3 on the tree until I could afford one of the new fangled 4 on the floor.

Yeah, I drove one of those next. My dad wanted a fun car. But I was the one that drove it the most and did most of the maintenance:
It was of course not brand new.

That is a pretty car. And lots of room in the trunk for the windows. At least that is where we would keep the windows for the MG.
You may as well just put the whole MG in the trunk.

I actually programmed in Qbasic in high school during the 90's. It was obsolete even then, but I guess it was to teach us how coding in general works. I even won an award for it, yet that's all faded from my memory over the decades. Had all kinds of neat games that I had created saved to a 3.5 floppy that unfortunately became lost to the sands of time. I started dabbling in python these days.

Do you remember data cassettes?
I still have the small generator I bought to get ready for Y2K - it's been in a box in the garage ever since.

I've never encountered them. Just the 5.25 and 3.5 diskettes.
Ahh the good old days, 15 minutes to load a game on the Sega SC-3000 and the fridge motor would kick in 14 minutes into it which would lock up the computer for some reason so I'd turn the fridge off and start again, then get playing the game and forget to turn the fridge back on which drove the Mrs crazy and is probably why she's the ex-Mrs now.
Oh yes, nostalgia...
When hubby and i first set up our business we had 2 x SGI pcs, 2 x 28k dial up modems and 2 qic tape drives for backup. Tapes were changed each day and stored in a fire safe.
