#ImNotSayingImOldBut I remember this joke:

I remember when movies on pre-recorded media were very expensive ($80-$100 in the early 1980s) so by the time the 1990s came round, I had one, maybe two pre-recorded tapes (and one that had a special sleeve with some words about "scientific value" on the tape, but we all knew it was porn ;o) and a whole bunch of tapes manually recorded at EP speed because "by golly they said it was 6 hours; I'm GETTING 6 hours on here!"

#ImNotSayingImOldBut the first computer I encountered had 32K of RAM, no GUI, and stored data on a 5.25" floppy as the *fancy* option - and I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen 😁
