boxofdelights

My dad was DELIGHTED with the first home video machines and was an early and frequent if often inept user. Same with computers. I still remember him and my mom coming home from "a computer class" at the local community college with some box you could hook up to the TV set to have a computer at home! (of course it didn't work) He would've gotten a Laserdisc player for the image quality, but they were way too expensive.

(Lots of the classic 80s movies are wildly overrated, and/or have REALLY bad racist and sexist bits)
