Thats more like it, and Commadore 64's where you had to wait 2 hours for the tape to load.

Bus fares were < 10p (for kids) and you got 20 sweets in your 10p mix (not 2 sweets like you do now)

I didn't own a C64, just a 2600 but if I was going to a mates to play on their C64 right after school, they would tell their Mum in the mroning which game to put on. She'd start it loading about 2pm ready for us when we got home at 3:45pm

Hehehehe, 'back in *my*' day ...
  • 8-tracks were the best thing since sliced bread... they sure as heck beat having to set the rpm on the turntable, making sure the correct 'spindle' was on there, putting-the-record-on/turning-the-record-over, and trying not to scratch said record with the needle.....;
  • Dictophones weren't 'tapes' they were green flimsy 45rpm size circles with grooves on them like 'real' records;
  • The only 'rap' we had was someone knocking on the door..... or gawd forbid a rap sheet...lol
  • We still had to punch all those holes in the cards (usually a few thousand of them) to run a simple program on a computer the size of a mountain....
