JetSet Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) The class of 1993 would have cost over 5k, Laptop alone would have been not far off 3k. My first PC bought back in 1991 with a 40mb Hard Disk, 256k of Ram, 286 CPU and a 14" monitor set me back £1,400.

BulletMagnet Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 ....... a "portable" stereo had to be at least 4' long and carried on the shoulder - normally with a bunch of mates and a big piece of cardboard to lay on the ground outside a shop - anyone else remember? And if it had a Bass Boost' button and an auto reverse tape deck, you were da man. I had a Walkman with the "Mega Bass" button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) my niece and nephew asked why we didnt have video screens in the back of our seats for them to watch when we drove them home one evening. they said "mummy and daddy have videos on for us to watch when we're in their car" I said, " when i was your age it was a priverlige if my dad let me borrow his walkman to listen to a story book on tape" they said " whats a walkman ....and whats a tape?" sigh Confuse them and put this in front of them, lol Edited April 22, 2013 by BulletMagnet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raduv66 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Times have changed even for a ol fart like me phones are now do everthing must haves and couldnt live without but without a doubt home cinema is where its at for me. I first watched Alien many moons ago on a pop up video on a CRT screen and couldn't make out what was going on. Blu-ray is a blast for film lovers with the right kit but like buying stuff for your Zed don't scrimp on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I used to carry my ghetto blaster on one shoulder and a roll of lino under the other arm I saw a documentary about this. Is this you SMD? I've seen some well rude ghettoblaster style ipod docks. Christmas present sorted I reckon. I reckon I could still break dance.... Might have a go in Wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Confuse them and put this in front of them, lol Or give them a tape and a walkman with 'Play', Stop' and 'Fast Forward' and then ask how to rewind it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With full Digital MEGA BASS. you joke but i still use mine in my car through a tape converter I absolutely loved mine, probably the best gadget I've ever owned, I was gutted when it finally gave up after years of abuse. Nothing I've ever owned stood up to such usage like it did. 10 full albums in your pocket when people were carrying one or two CDs. If it wasn't for MP3 these would've been massive. Great sound too.
