Silly, he's obviously talking about the booster rockets.
Duh.
My favorite 80's tech - The X-29:
Well, wouldn't that then be 1920's technology considering the SRBs aren't much removed from the earliest rockets?
Hey, guys, from the Sears 1980 cataloge it's a "Portable"* TV!
Perfect for watching the punk rock episode of Quincy.

Why is every ad I've ever seen for a TV always has a guy playing football, or on a football field, or something to the effect of football?

I didn't know you were taking requests! Now put her in a 80's era cheerleader outfit and have "Galatica 1980" playing on the tv!

And rebuilding everything on a car except the exterior is not an option since...?
Don't worry, first I need my new Camaro, a new daily vehicle to save some gas and then when I'm really getting spare money over there are a few others on the list first. Like a 68 Dodge Charger R/T, but that don't count in this thread.
I always did love the look of that. Wasn't it insanely complex to keep in the air though?My favorite 80's tech - The X-29:
I've always interpreted the locks as a business related thing, where a locked case means "don't use these disks", to ensure that important data wasn't overwritten. I don't believe it was ever supposed to prevent theft.
Also I suppose that those disks which did need accessing, had to be requested from the key holder, who was no doubt responsible for keeping track of them. With an unlocked case, important disks could easily be lost.
Behold!!! The TRS-80!!! The finest piece of technology Radio Shack had to offer. You can tell because it comes with the tape recorder.
OH MY GOD!!!! I used to play that Star Trek game on the "Trash-80" in my High School's "computer center".
Hey, it was faster than playing on the '50s era teletype terminal (though, it did have the fancy-schmancy tape reader attachment.)
God, I'm old ....

I still HAVE one of these!
