Remembering the 60's & 70's

The other night I had a great time flashing back to the good old days of my youth with fellow tweeters @bstrung @preskittgurl @Tuckertown @dgdreamin @mscator @DawnFine @LRockwellatty and @JKissnHug. I really had a great time remembering all the crazy and weird things I did and saw in the late '60s thru the 70's. Ahhhh what a time that was!

Anyway, I had so much fun I thought it might be cool to set up a blog for people to take that 'bad trip' back in time and share some of the stuff from the good old days!

I can't remember when I was so lost in the past and I must say that it took my mind off of today's troubles for a couple of hours. Really fun! It also taught me how far we have come in such a short time. Back then there were no cell phones, speaking of which, has anyone seen a phone booth lately? How about a rotary phone dialer?

Computers with 12k core memory took up an entire floor in an office building! I know, the first computer I worked on was an IBM 360. It was in a glass enclosed room of about 1500 sq feet, right at the entrance of the corporate headquarters, so everybody could see!

Please leave your comments so others may reminisce!


Let me get it started (I hope) with:
