Super powerful laptop with Pentium II - 266Mhz! 64 MB of RAM!
So when I moved into my buddy's house last December, I had a furnished basement to myself. There was a bathroom down there and I found some old tattered Playboys from 1999 or earlier under the sink, graciously left by his old roommate. As I was flipping though them, I found gems like these -
Laptops for $6,000 with a 266 Mhz processor and a portable DVD player for $1,300 and a plasma tv that you would buy for $2,000 today, but back then was more expensive than a Ducati. Now you can watch any of the 1,500 movies available on DVD in style!

blankfistWhy do the pages look like you had to rip them apart from one another?
thinker247I'm surprised the years of semen and fecal matter haven't ruined those pictures.
Just imagine how much Marty McFly would have paid for a 266Mhz laptop in 1985! Back...to the future!
littledragon_79Oh man, I wish this was on sift talk so I could give it a * quality. This is too friggin awesome. I don't remember paying premiums for K56 flex modems, but times they have a changed. I think that was the year gas prices dipped to .87/gal here and I could fill my ank for less than $10
MINKif we're having a retro session.. i remember getting to art college and being proudly shown some shiny new macintoshes which "can open a high resolution photoshop file in only one minute!"
