This was cutting edge tech... I remember the excitement of replacing floppy discs with CDRs...

I'm older.
Let's just leave it at that
Yeah, I remember flippies and casettes, but I'm too young for 8 track.
I grew up with a Bally Astrocade from birth. My dad had bought the tape peripheral, but I don't think he knew what the hell to do with it. Just sat in the box.
We had dozens of cartridges for it though. I think he just liked buying new tech, because I never saw him playing it.
Oh boy. I remember seeing an 8 track system once.... I was very curious, and honestly, I still don't have any of the answers I wanted. They're just no longer relevant. The tech was old when I was a kid.
I used dial up, so anything that's post-Internet, I'm probably older than. I still remember the idiot news anchors going "move over Internet, here comes the world wide Web".... They're literally the same thing. What the fuck are you talking about?
A new use for my cassette recorder.
