    For everyone who says the average idiot cannot use a computer from the 80s. I still have a working comidor 64, and still own a 3.5″ floppy drive desk top computer with windows 3.7… I think I can handle that… In fact if the average idiot could not handle them computers then they would never be able to handle the ones we have today… 64mb hard drive in the 64, 1tb in my computer now. Oh and I use a linix os on this one.

13. mmofreakwow on February 6th, 2012 at 5:22 am

14. tiadaid on February 6th, 2012 at 5:28 am

    @pcmcguire18504 “your average moron today wouldn’t have the skills required to use a computer in 1982.”

    Speak for yourself.

16. Quitoman on February 6th, 2012 at 6:03 am

    Where is all this shit now?

17. 0neHundredPercent on February 6th, 2012 at 6:11 am

18. pcmcguire18504 on February 6th, 2012 at 6:56 am

    It’s funny how people rip on ’80s tech but your average moron today wouldn’t have the skills required to use a computer in 1982.  We’ve become a nation of fat, lazy, reality-TV-watching idiots.
