Truly a moment to remember, exactly 33 years ago on this day was the first ever US screening of A L I E N. Happy Birthday! Without you, dear Alien, none of us would be here right now. So, thank you Mr Scott, Mr Giger, Mr O'Bannon, Mr Cobb, Mr Shusett, Mrs Weaver, etc... for keeping us on the edge of those seats we can now return to! And a special tribute, thanks Cain 1977 for reminding us, of course to the [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/5864]late Stan Winston![/url] [url=http://alienseries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/happy-33rd-birthday-alien.html]Strange Shapes Blog[/url] [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/releaseinfo]Alien @IMDb release dates[/url] [img]http://images.sodahead.com/profiles/0/0/1/0/1/0/2/7/9/Alien-1979-69708099443.jpeg[/img] [img]http://technicolordreams70.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/scg021809_0105_28.png[/img] [img]http://media.screened.com/uploads/0/235/614201-alien_xenomorph.jpg[/img] [img]http://thatwasabitmental.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/alien3.jpg[/img] [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R0SvkYnbCRk/TjE-jzy8GAI/AAAAAAAADGI/ie-nSQEijQE/s1600/alien-crew.jpg[/img]

I used a type-writer through 1989. Word-processors were shoddy at best and dot-matrix printers made your stuff look awful. The only good PC/processor out there was the Macintosh. WordPerfect wasn't bad, but who wanted a DOS based paperweight?

yeah, I had pretty much used a type writer for all things, WP's were too expensive for our family. I remember when my dad brought me home my first SEGA unite and it came with the game Altered Beasts...good times.

WOW, Sony Walkman $200.00 in 1979... That was a LOT considering average yearly salary was 17k. O_O @Abordoli, LOVE that wedding cake OMG.
