Given the amount of experience and skill sets amongst the membership here I'm sure some of you have worked, in a professional sense,with even some of the more obscure of these technologies.

Yup, sure have.  There are a few of the older ones still gathering dust in the RocketMan bunker.  Interesting when you add them all up.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I am imagining someone having an oversize tape deck in their car that would take those giant Sony Cassettes.

Ah, the Zenith MiniSport laptop, with it's proprietary micro floppy.  I remember working on them.

We had a floptical in the shop, one place I worked.   20mb floppy, standard size disk but laser etched index marks making for higher capacity.

I think I watched Discovering the Library in school.  :laugh:

I've handled a few of those mediums.
