I refuse to say ...

Why? Does it light your fuse?

I remember replacing those

yup, I see them from time to time

We had an Apple II+ on a roller cart when I started work in 1980.  The section shared it.  It had both paper tape and a casette deck for data storage.  There was a program called Visicalc which was fairly useful, it was like an early Excel.  I wish I had bought some Apple stock back then ...

I used Visicalc as my first spreadsheet when I started work in 1986 on an IBM model AT with no internal storage. 2 6'' floppy drive's, 1 for the Visicalc program and the other for your data. 

Yeah, parents got a Commodore 64 when I was 5. They had no clue what to do with it. So I used it for games (Solar Fox and Frogger were my faves) based on cartridges, but we also had a cassette tape drive. My buddy and I also would use it for silly simple BASIC programs. 

Parents upgraded to IBM XT when I was 7. Used mainly for word processing and their tax stuff, and I would use it for a couple of ASCII-based games, and then later we'd play Ultima V. We also got a bootleg copy of Leisure Suit Larry, and their "age" restriction was just asking a few trivia questions at the start of the game that only adults would know--but my buddy and I being smart nerds could get through it just fine. 

Eventually they got the 486 that was the home PC until I left for college. My dad (an architect) always intended to learn AutoCAD but never did, so it was decently powered since it was supposed to be capable of running that. I recall going through Win 3.11, OS/2, Win95, OS/2 Warp, then back to Windows. Every time my dad learned how to navigate the OS I'd change it lol... That was also the computer running the BBS I set up... I was such a nerd that I paid for a 4th phone line (we had house phone, fax line, my dad's business line since he was self-employed, and then my dedicated computer line)... So I can I've been using computer message boards for 30 years now given that I was running a message board through the BBS and hooked into FIDOnet at the time. 

Eighty-one years after she lay burning and capsized in the New York harbor, the French SS Normandie still holds the record as the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built. She is considered one of the greatest of ocean liners in history, a floating palace of Art Deco majesty so dazzling, they nicknamed her the “Ship of Light” similar to Paris as the ‘”City of Light”. The gilded first class dining hall was longer than the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles and guests included Ernest Hemingway, Colette, Fred Astaire, Walt Disney and even the von Trapp family singers, who all sailed aboard the Normandie during her career of 139 westbound transatlantic crossings from Le Havre, France to New York City. She was, for a brief time, Queen of the seven seas, before war, negligence and possibly sabotage, sealed her fate in 1942.

The first home of the Atlanta Falcons was one of those multi-purpose venues called Atlanta Fulton County Stadium.  It actually opened back in 1965 for a cost of just slightly more than $14 million.  The Falcons shared the use of it with their Major League Baseball counterparts, the Atlanta Braves.  Like most of the "cookie-cutter" stadiums during the 1970s, Atlanta's stadium did not compare with the modern facilities that you see today.  It had a natural grass field all throughout its 32 years of use.  Moreover, it only had five private suites, and a seating capacity of just 60,763 for football games.  It was demolished in 1997 (at a cost of $66 million).
