Engadget 1985

A quick trip down tech-nostalgia lane. I was really getting a kick out of it, remembering that I actually owned (or lusted after) several of those gadgets. Then I saw the first user comment:

3 days before I was born. Amazing.

Thank you, Felix! That certainly spoiled the mood. If you'll excuse me, I think I hear my geriatrician calling.

Hehe...I know the feeling. Cool site, like the BBS sorta look to the place.

I remember wanting the Apple Lisa (back when Apple still had significant "mindshare" of the computer market) and the Tandy 600. I eventually bought a Tandy 600 (and the original Model 100) to scratch my nostalgia itch. :)

Thank you eBay! ;)
