Kids these days may never know that White People mostly just wanted to be left alone, go to work, raise a family--and that they were, for the most part, A-Okay.

Kids these days may never know the joy of screaming downhill without fruity helmets on in a homemade cart fashioned out of an old "Lamb Tongues" box.

At the last place I worked in NC, we had a developer go on a sabbatical for a month. When he got back, this was his whiteboard. He always cleaned his whiteboard every evening before leaving work. To his credit, when he saw this he just moved it to an unoccupied cube and took the clean whiteboard from there. I think all 60 of us found something to write.

I still listen to "Whisper to a Scream" by Icicle Works... not sure how my eye caught that almost right off the bat.

I think we covered most of these, except maybe the makeup mirror and five-line chalk drawer.

That was roughly my setup in Gainesville... but with bad ass dual floppy drives and my bitchin' Panasonic KXP-1124 24-pin printer!
Mine was a Commodore 64 with a floppy drive bigger/heavier than most laptops these days. But yes, Panasonic dot-matrix, probably older than that one.

I still played games on my 64 in Gainesville from 89-93, but we splurged for a fancy 286 for school work

State supplied our FDA agency with Zenith 286 with amber monitors, 5.25 inch real floppies and a whopping 5 Mb hard drive…shared laser printers x 2 though. Local parallel network for 20 peeps for printers only. 4 day courses on msdos, msword, d baseIII and excel at a local joint that were basically worthless unless you used the program every day.
