I used one of these until 1992 in college!

The TRS 80 was the grade school computer I used. Its main purpose was, if you turned it on & off quickly, some weird characters would fill the screen and change rapidly, row by row. Great learning tool!

What was up with the film strips counting back 8...7...6...quick subliminal picture of a woman...5...4...3...2? Anyone ever notice this?

i remember those! i liked the smell of the ink/carbon when the teacher would give you freshly-made copies of worksheets...nod

other obsolete stuff i remember:

-- lunch tickets (for those of us who had reduced-price lunches, remember them? the lunchlady would punch your ticket when you came through the line...and be damned if you lost your ticket or if you forgot to take it outta your pocket before your folks did the laundry lol)

-- floppy disks

-- those cards inside of library books that the librarian would stamp the due date on

-- metal lunchboxes (i had a walt disney world one)


nod Everyone at my school had lunch tickets...they were pink.

My parents wouldn't let me and my brother have 'real' lunch boxes--I had to brown paper bag it when I took my lunch to school. I was always so jealous of my friends that had the Strawberry Shortcake & Smurf lunchboxes... sigh
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.
