I remember a time when you could call the Mail Order Trolls – or even send them a letter, you know, handwritten on actual paper with a stamp on the envelope and all that – and buy archive minis from 20 years ago….still available by request…..

And then there were catalogs, nice an’ purty, with lots of pictures that you could look at any time you please, no need to turn on a puter, down-up-cross-or backload anything, no updates needed, never crashed, printed on real paper that you could really hold in your real hands and order from. With a form printed in the catalog which you cut out with real scissors and mailed in a real envelope – see above.

Alternatively, you could really walk into a real store – in real life – and just buy many of the minis now only found in cyberspace.

Everyday life was much better before computers.
