I miss the good old times when everything still was exciting. Happy to have lived through this era.

I have enjoyed watching these annual Christmas/Hanukkah gift buying guide episodes of The Computer Chronicles, because when I first saw them years ago these items were all new and yet nowadays these items are all nostalgic. 🎁
