I downloaded it from Infocom, the original manufacturer. I didn't recall the URL, but a quick Google search revealed it to me again. It's at:

Have fun getting sucked in all over again...

Yes, remember it well. My barber never saw me much though...



Funny to look at now. At the time, not so funny to my folks.

Heh, heh, what a great thread. Of course, I was barely a pre-teen in the eighties, but still, I remember:

* my ump-teen pairs of neon-colored socks

* my Flock of Seagulls hair-do that made me the most popular girl in junior high ... for one day at least

* Menudo

* wearing my shirt collar straight-up because we were told by more important people that it was the right thing to do

* my 'jelly bracelets' bracelets, clustered on my arm like a black cast ... just like Madonna!

* watching MTV for hours on end until we were goggle-eyed ... music videos, how ingenious!

* rollerskating at the local rink and checking out cute 12-year old boys (keep in mind I was 12 too at the time)

* watching "The Breakfast Club" twenty times on my friend's sofa and wondering how I could get Judd Nelson to notice me

* "Teen Beat" and "Tiger Beat" magazines

* seeing my favorite movies in the theatre about a dozen times each, back when movies were cheap: The Goonies, Back to the Future, Stand by Me, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and Ghostbusters

* writing "I (heart) Michael Jackson" on my parents' basement wall, you can still see it very faintly. He was normal, then, remember?

* lying on my bed with my childhood best friend, and deciding if we were going to marry Corey Feldman or Corey Haim (and how many kids we were going to have with them)

* papering my bedroom walls with magazine tear-outs of John Taylor, River Phoenix, Matt Dillon, and other hunky icons of that day

* music: Cyndi Lauper, Bananarama, Scandal, Duran Duran, General Public, Erasure, Rick Springfield, the Go-Go's, oh I could go on and on.


Ohhh what an age of innocence! How I long for it now

I didn't knew that jurrasic aged computers could play music too....

o boy...

Back in the Stone Age of the early '80's, we had to use the stereo to play our "LP's". Bands like Yes were cool because one song could take up an entire side.

Trippy

After I'd finally worked out how to switch my turntable on, I had a vinyl orgy the other day:
Marillion (I'd forgotten how good they were)
ABC
Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street
Kate Bush
Jefferson Starship - Jane


Yippee!


Jane

Yeah - I used to love Marillion back in the 80's while they still had "Fish" (the lead singer) - what an awesome Scottish singer!

Favorite albums from the past are:

Clutching At Straws

Script For A Jesters Tear

Misplaced Childhood

Even saw them live in San Francisco back then.

About 6 months ago I went through feelings of nostalgia and bought a couple of their old albums on CD - good stuff.

I also bought their newest double CD, Marbles. It's very good.

For those of you who like Rush and old Genesis - I recommend you check them out - it's excellent progressive rock. www.marillion.com

Thanks Timothy.

I'll check that out.

Kate Bush..I loved the Lionheart album. And the stuff she did with Peter Gabriel.

And Laurie Andersen, what an awesome, wry sense of humor. I thought "Big Science" was one of the most original things I'd ever heard.

In another life ('96-'01), I owned a bar in Cody, Wyoming. I used to slip a few things in to the Jukebox for the college kids. The Violent Femmes, and The English Beat were always getting played. We had a Best of '80's cd that got played tons. Dexy's Midnight Runner--of all things--got the most airtime from that particular disc.

(If you have to ask which song, you just weren't listening... )
