Everything is still overpriced. Man-O'man, I remember when gas was $0.32/gallon, a pair of Koss Pro 4A headphones cost $49.00, weekly groceries were $15.00 (and that included a weekend 6-pack!), no one subscribed to TV - all 4 channels were free. And, we coded with paper punch cards.

First, you forgot the UHF channels with the goofy local host who dressed up as a spaceman.

I was blessed to just miss the punch card era. My first exposure to computing was with a DEC PDP 11/70 - the university was in the process of redoing all the labs to install terminals. There was still a punch card reader, but most people avoided it like the plague.
Man, you haven't lived until you've played Star Trek on a DECwriter II dot-matrix terminal!
I remember playing Lunar Lander on the DEC 11 with the a DM terminal. I was a Senior (1971) in prep school and I think Ken Olsen may have donated it to the school. It was sad to see DEC decline as they did.
Oh, I think I remember that one too! Both games were great paper-wasters. ?
