BTW, this is totally racist - Pay special attention to the record player part.

Enlighten me Greg, I didnt catch it. Was it the type of music that was played

[bersh240]

[krimsonviper]

I'm guessing because he tried to scratch it?
Also... LASERDISC. Our school had players for those. They were epic.

[AZhitman]

Yep - Both of them knew what it was right off... the one kid was in scratchin' mode, LOL

[Jesda]

I remember when we had one NEC 3x CD-ROM drive for the entire computer lab. It was passed around.

[alms24sebring]

LOL. I wasnt ganna say it about the scratching the record.

I remember laserdiscs in elementary school. They WERE epic. Remember the teacher scanning the barcode to show something from the LD, and it took atleast 5 times to work?? I sware that I also had one of those record players, that exact same kind.

Uhh, didn't really know what the big white thing with the green roller in the middle was..

One of those kids got it right, it's a mouse.
I know it's huge, but that big track-ball might be handy today, if you were using it on autocad or something.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Yeah my friend still uses a trackball...albeit a much more highly advanced optical one.

Cute video....I remember all that crap I'm afraid (and older)

I remember when Best Buy sold those for over a hundred dollars! I nagged my parents for a Kensington one because it looked awesomely nerdy and eventually got it.

It didn't really impress the ladies though.

[alms24sebring]

dam that thing is huge!! LOL. I was like well it looks like a mouse..

6 hours of charging gives you a full 4 minutes of talking, Its Incredible! God look at that hair too..

I LOVE THIS MUSIC

80s synthesizers > *

[themadscientist]

I have to call someone to tell them about this.

Cute vid. I'm amused they call 80's stuff "vintage", I guess 78 rpm records, computer keypunch cards, are fossils.

I have a friend who still owns a brick phone,used it up until the cell signals became digital.

[Encryptshun]

Going back to the generation of my father, for example, those kids wouldn't have even recognized those items as "technology"-- to them, they would be machinery or furniture.

As some one who does a fair bit of cad work, and has owned multiple trackballs (including a laser one) they have absolutely no benefit over a normal mouse.

There are however special "mice" used for cad work that look a fair bit like track balls...

All this stuff is vintage? I'm still not over the fact that Def Leppard is now "classic rock". Where have the years gone?
