Cute movie. It is amazing how far computers have come. I harken back to grand days of old - before there were GUIs, before the internet, before hard drives; back, when if you wanted a computer to do something, you had to write your own program! Oh, and when "Pong" came out...what a marvel! I remember laboring late nights at the University keyboards trying to produce something pleasing to the professors - a program that worked! At the time, only the boldest of us could envision at time when computers would talk to each other; a time when most every household would own a computer and we would use them to buy trinkets with credit cards and insult each other at light speed!
![]() Yes, we've come a long way. Go forth and think boldly, fellow posters! If the past is any indication of the future....heaven help us!

Funny ending. David, the first hard drive I bought held 10 mb, it was used, and it still cost me $100 (in 80's dollars). I was excited to buy a 300 baud modem for that same computer, and even more excited when I later bought a blazing fast 1200 baud modem. |

Oh yes, I remember 300 baud and also thought 1200 was FAST.

Pac Man was a lot of fun, but, IMHO "Asteroids" and "Space Invaders" were the best. A fella could save the universe for only 25 cents! As I have matured though, I'm not sure it''s worth that much money.
