I remember those first BBS's and Zork and the damned PC Jr. my Dad bought. That thing did little well. The manual for Bank Street Writer was 3 inches thick.
Printer paper back then was pretty terrible too.

Remember Reagan vs Momar Quadaffi(sp?)? ... You cross this line, I kill you.... uuhh,, ok, you cross this new line... I kill you... Ok cross this line you really dead. And if he had not been living in the TENT next to his HQ he would not be around anymore. I am glad Bush jr. has had some Reagan training.

was Adam Curry the VJ who was tall and blonde??? Or maybe not...what WAS his name???? HE WAS CUTE...unfortunately, I did not have MTV, so I missed out on its heyday...had to settle for Friday Night Videos...and very often could not watch that either...cable was expensive then...

I remember that well. We were stationed in Germany at the time and my dad was the DO for the F-16 fighter wing and helped orchestrate the attack. I can remember our high school being under highest security alert.
To: NativeSon
I also memorized the songs from "License to Ill"...
Remember this one: "Now here's a little story I got to tell, about 3 bad brothers you know so well..."
I could still probably sing all the songs right along with the Beasties!
To: soccermom
Does anyone remember the muscle shirts with the Japanese writing on them?
To: Alkhin
Yep - Adam Kurry had the long curly blond hair; kurt loader was the other guy (I think he's still around) that did the news; Martha Quinn was cool, too.
To: Fraulein
Family Ties is back on Nick-at-Nite! I opted for that over The Left Wing last night.
To: stainlessbanner
hmmm...maybe hes not the one I am thinking of...the guy I remember the best looked a bit like Cy Cernan of The Fixx, ANOTHER GREAT 80s band!! (Love The Fixx!!)

BTW, love the nick, CounterCounterCulture....totally!!
Thanks! My name just screams out against the 60s pot-smokin', tree-hugging, hippy boomer counterculture. TO THE MAX! Fer sure!
We can dance if we want to...we can leave your friends behind...cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well, they're no friends of mine
