      I thought you said 1993? this would be Apple System 7, for the Apple IIc and IIcx, IIRC, which puts them in the mid-eighties.

      In no order:

      Cell phone.

      Digital diabetic testing meter.

      Flat panel television.

      I'd travel back to the 80's -- there's not that large a difference in the technologies in the last decade.

      I'll bring back the day when we had less of terrorism. Issues like Global Warming had not hurt the earth. One could go out and be confident that he returns home alive.

      Dam I hate that Caps Lock !

      BC_Programmer said 'If memory serves' as in, 'if I remember correctly'. He didn't say anything about memory servers, which doesn't make sense at all.

      And btw, you could have edited your post and typed properly.

          Yes, because useless shiny discs were all the rage back then  :P

          The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

          I forget who said that.
