The Chances

As many of you may remember, I recently moved into my sister-in-law's old house. Along with the house, we inherited a ton of trash and junk that she left behind.

In and among the junk, I found a 1986 Compu$erve booklet. Explore with me.

If you join Compu$erve, you too can have hair that won't move in the wind. Heck, it won't move if you're upside down. The only downside, of course, is all your spreadsheets will print on a 9-pin printer. Just make sure you never pull the sprocket holes.


If you can read the text, these are the computers that are compatible with Compu$erve. Check out the one above the Apple //c, it looks like a VCR. Glad they have a wide range of compatibility.


It's actually interesting how much the office has changed in 20 years. In 1986, the computer would only be referred to occasionally, and was relegated to the credenza in the back. Today, this guy would be buried by the computer. I do have to question the BLACK walls, though.


Ah yes, the plane trip. I wonder what the guy by the window is thinking. "6 hours on a plane with a moron who does nothing but surf porn all day."


Anyway, I thought they were funny and had to share. Cheers. :)
