It's a four door I think? Wondering what the conversation is about? Talking about how easy this car is to enter!

Here are a few more old ones from France. I have more, but the naughty bits are showing, so cannot post them.

The best ones I cannot post here. Not very naughty by today;s standards, but too much for the forum.

Have you noticed that American A's didn't seem to be to spicy back then all of the cars are something else. Of course the German A wasn't bad nor the two door.

3.75 MegaBytes

Weighed over 2000 pounds ...

And then there was all of the Punch Card machines from the 1940's 50's 60's and etc ...

I remember the big floppy disks and the small ones, and the Zip disks,(still have some) and now CD's are even gone on new machines. I moved to Mac computers 10 years ago, and now thumb drives and minni external hard drives are so cheap and so much capacity, I use them. I have no idea what is on the Zip disks or floppies, but hate to throw them out. I may find someone who can read them.

Bill, I still have my original Mac Plus from 1980, 4 MB RAM, 800k 3.5" floppy, NO hard disk...

WHen I graduated from a Commodore 64 to a PC, it was a 386 with no hard drive. The operating system (DOS) was on a floppy. I was so amazed when I got a 2 MB hard drive! Then I got windows 3.11! We have come a long way. My huge flat screen Imac is amazing.

marc hildebrant · 08-24-2017, 04:24 PM

In 1980, I was the product support engineer for the DEC 8 inch floppy disc drive (RX02).

Times have changed...

My first job as a graduate engineer in 1969 was with Burroughs Corp. designing 32" dia. disc files with arrays of fixed flying heads. Holding tolerances on the mechanicals was a nightmare.

Y-Block,

I believe the Mac was introduced in 1984. Do you remember the original Ad? It's probably on YouTube.

By the way, I still have My Apple IIe with no hard drive and two floppy disc drives, one for the MS DOS operating system on a floppy disc, and one to save your data. If you didn't type in the correct instructions, you would save your data on the disc with the operating system! And, of course, the dot matrix printer.

David you are correct. According to Wikipedia the Plus was introduced in 1986!!

I'm terrible at dates, I have to look up our Anniversary date every year so I know how long we have been married... And I know she will ask.

I also wrote it had 4MB RAM. That was an upgrade. It originally came with 1MB RAM.
