The Good Old Days: 1989

Not really that long ago. It's not as if we didn't have cellular telephones, you know.



In case you're wondering, the $799 price tag works out to something like $1,400 in current dollars.

And before all you morons under the age of 30 smile indulgently and move on, take a look around you. Ponder your car, your laptop, your iPhone, your toaster, your DVR, your Dolby 7.1 home theater sound system, and consider this: in 25 years, at least one of those things is going to look hopelessly antiquated, and your kids are going to laugh at you.

The 1989 version doesn't really do it for me tucked into the bottom of a string bikini.
