RAIR black box  anyone ?

I had to google that. I now have vague recollections of it.

@Fretwired ICL 80 column punch cards used to make excellent roach

The Singer M1 ("Emmy") processor was the core of the ME29, for which I wrote some of the microcode. The cpu had a rather interesting architecture.

I remember Musicradar.  Vaguely.

 

But then I remember stuff like Netscape Navigator and CompuServe email addresses.

I remember my Mk1 Escort with perhaps 50bhp and its cool (1970s) vinyl roof.

In fact, I remember the 1970s, and Gary Glitter.

I remember my very first Sony Walkman, that played "cassette tapes" and meant my music was suddenly mobile.

I remember the Sweeney and the Professionals, and Status Quo before they had to reform to become good again.

 

Lots of stuff that I remember used to be good once.  When it was all we knew and had nothing better.  But which I soon forgot when something better came along.

 

I remember when the internet went "squeee-ee-ee-errrrrrrr-click-click...."

I'll tell you what Irks me,

Dolphins, that's who,

Swimming about the sea all day, eating our fish, all smug as you like, proper giggly and making a noise like the internet used to, to add insult to injury.
