Lovin the old school art :D

Dated by that TV. I remember those things.

Not just dated, I had that TV. It was a TV(B&W)/AM/FM/Tape player. Ate batteries quite fast.

I never got cool stuff as a kid. My Dad is a cheap bastard.

I bought it used from a cousin for $40. I did have a 13" color TV as a kid, but it came out of my allowance....all $212 of it with tax.

I never had a color TV growing up. Only when My Wife and I got one.

I've got one somewhere.

I still remember that lovely clip of when William Shatner was one of the celebs on the pyramid and he botched a clue and totally lost his shit.

OMG! Yay for portable TV and electric typewriter!

Put them together and you got a word processor! - Had one like that....

Cool!

heh Waste of money for me - needed something more advanced for Grad School - ended up my first computer and Word Perfect software

You are not wrong 😂

Old school technology!

And yet, so much about NYC hasn't changed...

And now only the Radio would be usable - no more analog tv signal

Mmm... Immediate mode printer? Hey, when I started working as a programmer, I still needed access to a typewriter!

Manual ones were fun - started off with those - old Royals. Moved up to the IBM Selectrics - ghod those were a chunk of steel...

I used to buy old desk models at flea markets and tag sales for $5.00, clean and fix them and sell them for $20.00 to starving students at college. Some instructors would only accept typewritten reports. Feed the need.

I remember those days then the home computer took over and profs wanted good print outs and not on dot matrix on tractor fed paper. Thesis committee wanted hard copy and floppy disk of my work

"Remember to show your work..."

Of course, these days you just copy it off the Interwebz. Or have Perfesser Bear write it for you. After all, your parents had to bribe the school officials because you were too stupid and/or lazy to get in on your own merits.

:chuckles I had a bit of a term paper consultant gig going in the dorm. Told the little idiots to retype in their own works. Couple handed in what was written in my style. Was warned by one prof - shut down my consultancy at that time. Now I did keep up assisting students on library research for pay or food. SMU in the Dallas Area was a good one for that. I was using the law library a lot and a quite a few of the so called law students didn't know how to tell a State Law book from a Federal one or even how to use a library period. I'd have them buy me lunch then I'd help them find what they needed. I was mistaken as a teaching assistant or adjunct prof a lot there - was using a lot of legal materials for my US History thesis. SMU food service had prime rib daily and the damn kids were only getting cookies with their food cards.... Prime rib for me would get you several hours of research done by me

I started off with a service for $0.005 a word -- yes, half a cent -- and a 5,000 word essay would net me $25. I can crank that much out in a couple hours, with a lot of academic fluff. The moron who hired me for the Bernie Madoff piece forfeited 50% of the charge, and only got the first half of the paper. That's why I posted it in a number of places (it's even up on ScribD). I encoded my screen name in the first paragraph to make it obvious who wrote it and where it came from. Ant instructor doing a little due diligence will Google a line or two and catch their plagiarist.

1990: Dinkins era. And yes, that old-model TV brings back memories.

Love the jokes, love the old mini TV!

Had a Panasonic portable B&W set that could run on D cells. Still have it stashed somewhere.
