Butbutbut messy rooms ftw.

...It had to be done.

And finally, here is mine (now that it's cleaned up a bit):


Note that it misses A LOT of stuff, though, such as the SNES and Nintendo 64 on the other side of the bedroom that I have yet to move to my living room, the mess in my closet and a small 4:3 LCD TV (yes, those exists). There's also a few books on another desk to the right, as well as a Sega Game Gear (the pic has an Atari Lynx in it).

Now I bet you new generation of Internet users have no clue what's that round device for in the middle (well, at least the front part)...

Yeah, I mean the boombox, and the following vid applies to many people around 13-17 nowadays



But again, first of all, they forgot the part about needing AA batteries and when I talk about cassettes some people brings up betacam and 8-track And to be fair, some walkmans had built-in speakers too

Yeah true, plus it's not true that you couldn't run with a walkman on, because those headphones would remain on your head, unlike those small earbuds that comes with ipods nowadays which always fall off your ears. And walkmans had that plastic thing behind to tie it to your pants, so you could still run/walk without holding it (although it was a little annoying).

During my hi school days I actually stuck with walkmans for a while longer for that last reason alone, since CD-based walkmans were just too bulky to fit in my pockets, lacked any plastic tie to stick it to my pants and tracks kept skipping even with anti-shock on.

Thanks. It's not much really, though, since my computer is pretty standard. THe most notable part is the calc collection, the rest of the interesting stuff being in the living room (and it's a mess there because I lack enough room to put all game consoles in >.<)


Also, back on the whole technology thing discussed earlier, it's incredible how things elvolved. Back in 2004, a 128 MB USB stick costed $400 here and I worried it might force me to drop out of school prematurely due to eventually being required to buy one as replacement to iOmega zip disks. Also, I still have an Omnimaga backup from late 2004 that is stored on 7 separate floppy disks.


Also, just to show how much technology elvolved, just take a look at how much the user RAM on Z80 calcs have increased over the last 15 years! Oh wait...

I have a RAM card from 1995 (my birthyear) taken from a ThinkPad... 4... MB...
And now let's take a look at my biggest USB Key. 20€ and 16 Gigs. (Sony and USB 3.0, that explains the price)
We hae SXC card which are a little bigger than a fingernail and contains more than 64 GB!
