Kind of feel like we should leave this CT at 1,999 posts for TSY to steal with a Good Morning post at 6:00am. Palma would probably vulture though.

I had the Jurassic Park compound playset and a sweet Explorer. I probably had 75-100 dinosaurs. I would make epic Jurassic Park recreations. Ferns and plants in a bathtub, BOOM, Raptor habitat.

I honestly want to take a 93 Explorer and just do it up JP style and daily driver that shit. "It's got interactive CD-ROM!" Spared no expense.
 
i remember in 6th grade, my dad showed me how to do a search on the internet. it was SO SLOW.

i told him it was stupid, "why would i use that when i can just look it up on encarta" (that's right, encarta. and you know that maze game on encarta? i was REALLY good at it.). i distinctly remember thinking "this is dumb, no way will this catch on"

Hells yea Encarta.

Remember Clip-Art where you had the effin books to match to the disks?
 
did everyone else always have a computer at home?

we've had one as long as i can remember, as well as an old-school printer w/ the holey perforated sides that fed sheets through the printer.
 
Man, I can't believe I forgot Encarta. Some of the interactive stuff was very cool. Flying through Egyptian ruins and such.

I'm dating myself, but when I was in early elementary school we had this story book game that was like a mix of MS Paint and Clip Art where you basically drew a picture by importing in pictures of castles and dragons and clouds and asteroids and re-sizing them. That was the tits.

My Dad has always been in IT, so we had some form of computer at all times.

I remember when he first brought home a laptop. :eek:
