Snagged a couple more bite-sized nuggets of the Kaczors' episode. In this one, Lloyd and Brian survey the "Before" phase of the Kaczor home.

    I used to use a typewriter. And not just a Selectric. In fact I used a Gestetner Mimeo for copying at one point. Anybody know what that is?

    Is that one of the machines that spat out the purple-inked pages that smelled all funky? If so, I kinda sorta remember those...talk about old-school!

    You mean an actual lemonade stand that sells tartly sweet beverages, or is that the name of some other ancient communication device I've never heard of?

    The LemonAde Stand was one of the 1st math / computer classes they put us through in grade-school!! PC's were slow back then!! it was about the same time ATARI was born!!!

    Haha, I must have missed out on that one then. I do remember some state capitals/geography program around 4th grade on the old monochrome TRS-80...five-and-a-quarter inch floppy disks and all...good times. ;)

    I vaguely remember that lemonAde Stand you are talking about.
    I know I must be getting old my dad and I were talking about how we use to stay up late "programming" games into the computer , we had this book that you had to type lines and lines of text into just to get a game that was a catapillar running around and if you were lucky you didn't skip even one letter because then the game wouldn't work right and there was no way you would go all back though to find the mistake ! Now that is "old school" lol
