I hit all of those - AOL & MySpace for customer support.

But this list is woefully short - buncha BBS and later NNTP missing. Don't see "Owned a Sliderule". Don't see "Had a Cell Phone with a cradle", "Paid $80,000 for an Electronic Calculator" or "Owned a Microcomputer with 8-inch floppies"...

Meh... nice try, though.

Knew a dude who looked like that (roommate of an acquaintance). He BRAGGED about spending an hour each day on his hair. WTF?

Of these, 1, though this version is merely "fine" (0.7mm) and not "micro" (0.5mm) which is my preference. 

2 in 0.5mm for when I have to write fast, but the tips blow out and the line quickly gets fat and sloppy, so they're really only good for about half of the ink they come with. 

6 for use on planes. 

My general preference is Pilot Hi-Tec-C in 0.4mm, though it can be a little too pointy for shitty paper or irregular surfaces.

Wrong.

8" floppy was what threw me off. I got my first XT computer in 1989 and never saw / knew of an 8" floppy disk.

 

I remember spending hours trying to load up DOS just right so I could get what I wanted in the 640KB RAM.

Number 5. Pilot G2 in 1.0mm all the way.

 

Number 7 is for spitballin'.

Boomers are Jenny-Johnny-come-lately. Fuck (MS- or IBM-) DOS and its "ten-times as much" RAM. A nice Z-80 or Z-100 with 64K and a couple of 1024K 8" floppies, one with dBASE II or Pascal and the other with CP/M, you're good to go. Get tired of swapping floppies, grab a 5MB hard drive for a few grand, and you ain't just going, you're flying.

Here I was, having a decent afternoon, and then you had to go and mention dBase. Boooooooooooooooo!

Guilty as charged, get that slimy texture out of here.
