(apologies to Blade Runner)

... I have seen things you wouldn't believe ...

... ribbon cables for hard drives... Master/Slave SCSI termination... (mind screams in rebellion)... the little switch boxes to hook your original Nintendo console or VIC-20 to a TV and then get headaches from staring at the TV CRT too closely.... a VIC-20 cassette drive with a box of about 150+ tapes that were completely unlabeled ... painstakingly typed in from the listings in BYTE magazine... Taking low-density 3.5" floppies, and drilling/punching a hole through to double your storage and make them "high-density".... the squeal of a modem (and trying to get the IRQ' conflicts resolved via changing jumper switches)... attempting to connect to Datapac to try and reach unknown systems, running my BBS in a DOS-box, on 386 Windows 3.0 machine...

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain...

The clicking of an IOMEGA ZIP drive, whose time it was to die...
