The Barn by Ralph Hagen for May 19, 2024

Oh the thrill of dial up modems!

Loved the floppy discs and TV guide. Those were the days

Ah yes, “portable” phones, with the battery pack on your belt…

I’d go home and watch Charlie’s Angels.

I think Rory needs a mullet.

The Eighties? That’s not so long ago…it’s only…FORTY YEARS?!? Dear God, I’m OLD!!

♫♪

Welcome to your life

There’s no turning back

Even while we sleep

We will find you

-

Acting on your best behaviour

Turn your back on Mother Nature

Everybody wants to rule the world

Iran is so far away, from their barn.

If someone builds it, I’ll be there. Love Flock of Seagulls.

I have the text alert for a customer as old dialup. Lots of chirps burps and beebles when I’m out but that one gets everyone’s attention. If I could convince her to take a moment to consolidate her thoughts into a single concise message, rather than 3 back to back, too much to ask?

When my friend’s wife calls his phone it plays “Ding Dong, the witch is dead”.

Love the Walk-man and the big Koss headphones. What is the Rubik’s cube sitting on? 8-tracks or cassettes?

Why does the “save” icon in most computer apps look like a vending machine with the drink can already dispensed?

Sounds of bygone days.
