I don't know why, but tonight I'm feeling really nostalgic for the 80s.

@stefano a song that takes me back instantly and brutally every single time is this old anthem from Italia '90. There are a few others with this effect, but this might be the most potent one and somewhat relevant to you (ita).
@Nux this is so 80ies! This song has the same effect on me, and I have clear memories of those days. Some aspects of my character were defined in those days. I'll probably write a blog post now that the memory has resurfaced.
@stefano Hehe, glad to be of service! 🙂
Other songs of same "calibre" for me, Scorpions - Winds of Change and Dana Dawson - Romantic World. It's probably the association with childhood and especially those tumultuous and exciting years in Europe and everywhere.
@stefano hehe, I was there and most of my music taste still is! 😁
Not the hair, however. Mullets ... urgh.
University from 85-89 playing with Sun Solaris pizza boxes in our Electronics lab while the Computer Science dept still had a room full of VT220s on their PDP system... sigh.
@Slash909uk wow, sounds nice!
@stefano Ah the 80s, when the greatest danger to our civilization was the „Neue Deutsche Welle“. 😆 Did you know two friends and me called Peter Norton in 1985 because we discovered a defect phone booth? 😎
@Linkshaender oh really? This is nice!
@stefano Just blogged the English version of it.
@Linkshaender I couldn't resistt and I just read it. Wow, this is a great story!
@stefano Thank you so much for the feedback. Back then we didn’t recognize how special this has been 😉
@Linkshaender this looks great! I'm going to read it later today. Thank you sharing it!
Armin, io credevo che scrivessi solo in italiano !
@sborrill that would be so great!
@stefano October '83 I worked with Siemens Data and was sent with some colleages to the release event of #Sinix, the Siemens Unix, and a mini computer series with that OS. Subsequently I took courses in the OS and #C programming. I read the first edition of "The C Programming Language" in German(!)
I was hooked. Since then it was primarily #Unix for me.
@arosano wow, great story. Thank you for sharing it!
@stefano Welcome to my world!
I feel you. I'd like to have lived 80s! Was too young!
@stefano I watched an episode of The Fall Guy earlier 😀
