You were psyched when the new orange monitors came out, no longer just green monitors!
Great list early

Ha, I ended high school in '81.

I had no clue what a computer was, but Asteroids was cool. Kinda remember the old Apple ...commander???... forgot what it was called.
Atari was the shizzit.

I had a Coleco Vision. It looked like it had tv remotes for controllers. It had a ton of buttons, which only 1 or 2 worked. Dig dug all the way!

OMG! My first *computer* was an Amstrad 646 or 464 or something like that. I got my first experience in programming with an old Spectrum that you hooked into a TV. Oh those were the good days :lol

In computer class you studied "Basic Programing" and you know what "If - Then" means
It was one of my proudest moments, I'll never forget when I was able to create a program that allowed you to input 3 random numbers and then it rearrange them in cronological order
I even went to RadioShack after school to work on the TRS80
enter > 12 65 08 and then the dang thing would show them like this 08 12 65

The commercial with the elderly lady who said "I've fallen down and can't get up" It was a remote controlled signal device to call 911 if you've fallen and couldn't get up that people would wear around their necks. Its a classic commercial.
Kinda like Mickey and Where's the Beef

I am surprised (or I missed it) that nobody has complimented the hair of the 80's. Except for a good afro was there ever a hair style that could be bigger and more flambouant than some of the high school girls or the male rock and roll bands?
