All the stuff you didn't know was on the internet

Oh yes I remember the old cable boxes where with a simply dental tool (IIRC) you could flip the switches and get unlimited cable. This of course was what I wanted at the age of 11, free soft core porn on Skinnimax.

Ahhh the classics…HOTS, Private School, Private Lessons, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Emmanuelle and one of my favorites Dressed to Kill.

Honorable mention to Aerobicize.

chadbag, QuietShootr and SteyrAUG, you two sound like a bunch of old coots sitting on a park bench talking about the good old days…Can I join in? I had a C64 and used to lord it over my friend who had a Tandy Color Computer II and the other one who had the TI-99. Oh yes I remember the old cable boxes where with a simply dental tool (IIRC) you could flip the switches and get unlimited cable.

I could be a snob back then - I had one of the first IBM PCs when they came out in 1981. I knew a guy who ran a BBS on the old RBBS-PC software using a Trash-80 Color Computer, which was about all it could handle. He hand-typed every line of that fuckin code in to get it to work right.

Remember when you could set up Hayes modems to auto-redial using AT commands? I thought I’d died and gone to heaven after using that stupid Radio Shack 300 baud manual you had to dial the phone manually with, then flip the switch to connect. Wardialing, baby…before the term was even coined. We had a 2nd phone line, so Mom and Dad wouldn’t get shitty about taking 24 hours to search the city for carriers.

We were getting in and fucking with SCADA 25 years before all the script kiddies today had even heard of such a thing.

And boxing? Oh, man. Blue boxing… For you chilluns, here’s the kind of shit we passed around back in the day.

I don’t remember too much about the Macintosh Performa my parents had in the early 90s, other than having fun with simple text speech
