You know, the 80s had a crap economy and a duncel of a leader, BUT
the one thing going for it was all the computer and programming jobs.

My how times have changed.

Crap economy.

A twice-the-duncel leader.

Where are the computer jobs? Oh yeah, they're cash register attendant minimum wage slow-death jobs. :puke:

4. I bought my first computer in the early 80's
It was the same price as a brand new car.

Computer jobs were plentiful and we still have a few factories and family farms left.
