After receiving a batch of Time Magazines today on the mail from 1982, I
decided to send everyone on a trip down memory lane. Here are some
things that were new, and "Hi-Tech" in 1982 (the year of the demise of
the DeLorean). I have also included some people for reference.
Also the argument about the DeLorean's styling has come up many times
in the past. Look at the pictures, and tell me if the style of ANYTHING
here would be considered "cool" in the 2000's. The last
page will show some cars that came out around the time of the DeLorean's
design (1977).

Apple Corp was a big competitor to IBM and their
"Personal Computer" or "PC" as these new
thingies were dubbed. In it's third iteration, the Apple III was
introduced. It even had a super hi-tech green monochrome
screen! |

Who cares about a Pentium IV with 4 GB of memory! We have
here the ULTIMATE gaming machine (TV not included): That's
right . . The Atari 5200. You too can drive cars made out of big
blocks on a screen! Very Cool! (click for a larger picture) |

On a more Tragic note, 1982 was the year that John
Belushi died. I won't even try to make up anything funny
about this. |

CLOTHES! That's what the 80's was really
about. This is a gotta see picture (click for a larger
image). Can you believe that it was really legal top
wear stuff like this. I for one don't miss the big hair and
leg warmers of the 80's! |

What would Disney World be without the Epcot
Center? Well, still pretty cool, but at Epcot you could play
with all of the latest in Technology! (OK, I admit the
styling of Epcot is still valid in today's world). |
