The butterfly effect?

Seems like the stone ages. Please tell me the typewriters were electric.

WOW! That is flat out amazing, funny, and ironic...and something else! You must have snorted coffee out your nose when you read that and ruined your laptop. Too funny. Stranger than fiction.

All those moments that should have been lost in time, like tears in the rain, now frozen for eternity on the internet.

Same year - 1987. My wife and I had just recently moved to Washington, D.C. I was out looking for a job. Interviewed at one of "The Big 8" CPA firms (now called "Big 4") downtown. I won't name which exact one, but they had orange shag carpeting in the reception area that even went up one wall, and brass everywhere. (Hey - it was still the '80's. A little weird, but not a deal breaker). The interview went well. They they paraded me around the office, both for my benefit, and for others to see me. We sat back down, and the guy asked if I had any final questions. "Just one", I offered. "I noticed that there was a computer (the IBM XT or AT model, I think) on every third desk. Why is that?" "Oh, yes", the hiring manager explained, "You have to earn your computer when you first start out. If you show that you're a hard worker, you're quick, and show promise, then you'll get one. Don't worry." I did worry. John A
