Remember...

A thought passed my wondering mind as I sat contemplating the clear blue sky, that in the future (in fact, probably not too distant future, actually those of you with children probably now) we will talk about the time when computers didn't have mice and always had a black screen with flickery green writing and you had to know a raft of commands which you typed at a c prompt. And the most exciting thing on it was pacman - a rudimentary computer game without graphics. How alien!

The eighties. There was always some 80s film where the geek got the girl in the cocktail dress with big shoulder pads and big bow on her ponytail, and they had to break into a bank or something and crack the codes on the computer which was huge and had a tiny screen. Yuppies. With big computers and gigantic mobile phones. So dated so fast.
