fun stuff! i remember getting my first calculator when i was in the 5th grade... it was what i asked for for Christmas... my sister-in-law had a sister who worked for Texas Instruments, and she and my brother got it for me... the numbers lit up in pretty red...

i also remember recording favorite songs from the radio... the hard part was to end the recording before the deejay or a commercial came on...

The annoying part is ALWAYS this — The DJ talks over the song as it is about to end.

You could also go to the library and check out records, then tape them at home.

When CDs first came along, the industry tried to block them at libraries saying you’d be able to make “too good” of copies/home tapes.

And if you missed! Rewinding to that spot was a real pain
