GusM Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 The sound which I always associate with childhood was the sound of programs loading from cassette tape on the original Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Still programming 40 years later, so had the desired effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either from Boeing testing out of STL or various military units training with Ft. Leonard Wood. We did have allot more back when the MO. Air National Guard was in F-15s. In fact, the area is called the Salem Area of Operations, Salem being my hometown ... -Gregg LSP_Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nighthawk Calling 1 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 One day at work the delivery girl turned up, playing on the radio was David Bowie's song Changes. She said "That's that song from Sherk" I said to her that it was David Bowie Her reply to that was "Who's David Bowie" kalashnikov-47, thierry laurent and GreyGhost 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalashnikov-47 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I still have and use a VCR. A lot of tapes were never released on DVD/Blu-Ray. I seldom stream. Not much of a television watcher, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
