@dosnostalgic Hrm. The original Weird Al tune came out in 1999. I'm trying to recall how we felt about upgrades back then. I want to say that this line was just Al poking fun at the extreme upgraders, but... were we upgrading more frequently in '99?

@dosnostalgic
Bravo!

Okay:
- Modems? Not relevant... unless we count cable modems maybe? Hrm... tough one

- Is the Etch-a-Sketch still a thing? Apparently so. Some toys just never die, do they?

- Why is desktop and laptop age no longer relevant? Because we all use phones instead?

- I guess this is also why the mizouse is red-X ☹️

I just feel old now

@dosnostalgic 48 systems! 😱 Holy heck that's a lot of setup and tear-down work. Hope you can sleep for a few days

@dosnostalgic A fowl knock-off of Worms?

@dosnostalgic Still better than H&R Block's online system

Good morning-ish everyone! Hope you're all enjoying Mastodon. For your viewing pleasure, I present to you, a photo of my Epson HX-20. Considered to be the first laptop computer, it used a pair of Hitachi 6301 CPUs running at about 600kHz. Yes, that's a built-in printer and micro-cassette tape drive.

Have a great day, everyone!
