Re: OT: I Remember When
Happy to let you know that in Ontario you can still get 1 pizza for that price... But everything would be about 30 toppings
I like the 6.99 walk in special... 3 topings large pizza and away we go...
Gandaph 300 was a modem...
Rack mounted modem LOL Used to use them with the pdp-1....

Re: OT: I Remember When
I remeber when cars used to have 400 ci engines, get about 6 miles to the gallon, and you could still smell 'em the next day....
I remeber when people and companies used to dump raw sewage and chemicals into streams and rivers....
I remember when AT&T used to control ALL the telecom services.
See, IMO not everything is for the worse. And yes, I'm one of the relative old timers here too. My first computer experience was not even on a monitor - everything was a printout on a ROLL of paper - not even perfs...
Some things ARE better.....

Re: OT: I Remember When
Nobody ever said things were all for the worse. The problem is that for everything that improves, something goes wrong... It is a trade off.
Actually, for the longest time I was able to order 4 medium pizzas for 15 dollars. Good pizzas too... but then they took our coupon away  |

I remember when you would buy a small or medium pizza because it was all you were going to eat at it was actaully cheaper. Now I try and I get the old "well sir with our special a large is cheaper" |
