Yeah. Sure. Okay.

Memories

Funny how cleaning up the house for my birthday (which was last Sunday!) can dig up certain memories that you thought you had forgotten. I’m not talking about those memories that you cherish and want to keep close to your heart, but the “smaller” ones that never “really mattered” but was still nostalgic when you look back on it. Here’s a small sample of what I’ve managed to find (almost all of which actually belonged to my elder brother).

VHS Tapes

Who uses them anymore?

Babylon 5!!!

DVD Killed the VHS Star.

3 and a half inch floppies!!!

Each can hold a stunning 1.4 megs of disk space!

DOS 6.22 man!!!

You will be missed...

The entire OS

Operating Systems were small back in those days...

Old Quantum Hard Drive

The Hard Drives were HUGE though.

Tekken 2 Skill Manual

This game was on the Playstation 1. ONE!

I will be keeping the Tekken 2 manual, who knows, some collector might want it one day. But the rest goes into the trash. Other things thrown away included: some telephone directory books from 2003, notes from my Masters and early PhD days, as well as a couple of caps that were too small for me to wear.
