FUN STUFF - LOUNGE LIZARD July 17, 2018, 02:05:05 pm BEFORE & AFTERMy LD is a 1992 26.5 RB. I like the look and lines of older vehicles, so I loved everything about its exterior. However, the late 80’s lounge-lizard interior décor was giving me disco flashbacks, so it HAD to go!!! The BEFORE shot is from the day I drove it home, Jan 2, 2018 and the AFTER shot is from today. So whadda ya think? Anybody still getting a lounge lizard vibe? 2 Likes

I too saved and purchased the peripheral expansion box so I could expand the memory to 32 kilobytes. Yes, I paid around $500 in the early 1980s to expand my computer by 32 kilobytes - not megabytes, and certainly not gigabytes. My favorite was playing Parsec with the speech synthesizer installed. I even programmed a game in TI Extended Basic. Whew, those were the days!Just in case you wish to enjoy those beautiful sounds and graphics...PARSEC video on YouTube 2 Likes
