The funny thing is, i'm going through all of those pics and saying to myself, "Got it, got it, got it..."

As a matter of fact, I have one of these that I am restoring right now.

And one of these,

waiting to be gutted and built into my next custom PC.
It should be big enough for a micro ATX motherboard if I take out the CRT and put in an LCD from a netbook as a secondary display. Likely have to liquid cool it...

I remember when the Lisa came out. Saw it in a store at the Eatons Centre. As I recall, it was somewhere around $12,000 for a fully equipped unit.

I remember:

8-track tapes

110 baud modems

When teenagers spent money on their car, it was for a 4-barrel carb and headers, not fart pipes and neon lights.

How about:
Lawn darts (let's give the kids some heavy pointed things and have them chuck 'em in the air at each other).
Paperbacks that cost less then buck.
Being able to buy a whole bag of candy for less then a nickel that will last a full day.
When mens hair product could also be used to lube a machine.
When a Sunday roast did not come pre-cooked and frozen in a plastic bag.
