@nonayadambidnes @MHS_Jenkins My first computer had a tape deck with a counter on it so you could lable it with the ~### of data on the tape.

@Lucky188 @nonayadambidnes @MHS_Jenkins TRaSh-80? 4k RAM, external tape deck, that I also used for recording mix tapes from the radio 🤣

@Lucky188 @MHS_Jenkins What's crazy is how bloody EXPENSIVE it all was too. I paid something like $3K for that first computer. Monitor extra.

@nonayadambidnes @Lucky188 that's another core memory--saving up money for a 56K modem and hating the cost when I was in college.

@AskTheDevil I'm an historian by professional training. I've seent 'em. I seent lots of 'em.

@MHS_Jenkins One of my favorites was a carving I did next to where water flows around the rocks. I carved a woman figure with a small animal, and it looked like the water was coming from her breasts, and the little animal was drinking the milk.

Except that it's been a while, so the female figure is nearly bisected, and it looks like she's peeing now.

It was meant to be about earth-motherliness, but time has rendered the scene all rule 34.
