I don't actually miss the 1980s or even the 1990s. Sure the computers were better back then, but its kind of hard to look back and be overly fond of the 1980s. There were high spots to be sure, but mostly because this is a gaming blog, I tend to fixate on the games.

I did other things during these times, granted. I read a lot, even watched a bit of television, mostly in the 1990s when Babylon 5 was on. And the early 1990s introduced me to a lot of films I ignored during the 70s and 80s. And culturally, I remain a bit of a work in progress.
