Remember when my daughter's were growing up, I used to hire a VHS video camera from Radio Rentals, this thing used to take full size VHS video cassette's and was the size of a small suitcase sat on your shoulder, used to think the recording quality was brilliant, now when we play the stuff back to embarrass them in front of the boyfriend's just cant believe how poor the quality is.
I'm not old... I think we were just poor! We had that bad boy.... Just make sure you pushed play and record together, or all hell would break loose lol As for the slang.... It's actually Thrupenny Bits
Yep I had one of those...I sold it for £80 and bought a 3ltr Ford Granada engine with auto box to squeeze into my 1.3 Escort van with the proceeds Ahh the good old days... And I actually have a thr'penny bit sat on my coffee table...the coin !! the coin !! sheesh....
Are we back onto the texting joke I was sharing with Jimbo last night ? What about Captain Pugwash with Seaman Staines and Roger the cabin boy.
I remember my brother having the BBC micro computer...with the 7.5 inch floppy disc drive...the geek... I had the Vic20 computer..yes the screechy cassette drive that took half an hour to load...then the game would crash at the start screen... I just love the blank looks when I say ten shillings or ten bob for 50p haha...or the welcome looks from the old ladies who grew up using pound shilling and pence
I found this bad boy our attic clear out in the summer, anyone remember this ping pong game, games have come on long way since the 70's
The "64" had the brown casing, then the Vic 20 with the beige casing happened along...or was it vice-versa..lol
Well I'm quite new to these PC things, my first had Windows 95, 100Mhz cpu, 1Gb HDD and 16 bit graphics
Comadore Vic 20 was first then the 64 in a brown case then after a few years they made a 64 in a grey case which was more jaggy in shape which the amiga system took a lot of similaritys from!
