I have a decent collection of DIY wood working devices like table saw, table router, sliding miter saw and a lot of power tools. But I still have a couple of crosscut hand saws. These would have been purchased in ca 1974 when I started finishing the basement in our first house. Clive, compared to power tools, these hand saws are indeed retro. Nice interpretation of this week's theme! |

My first desktop computer - a Compaq Deskpro ca 1986 . Intel 8086 processor, 256kB RAM, 2 x 5ΒΌ" floppy drives - cost US $3000 before tax! Later added a 10MB Hard Drive for around $500 . Times sure have changed! Tony, this is Retro with a capital R on more than one count -- the computer itself and the prices. Great interpretation of this week's theme! |

Keeping with the computer theme... First IBM with DOS 1982 - had to load Word Perfect/Lotus after loading DOS. Second floppy slot for saving the files. On to computer #2 - 1985 - another IBM - I was afraid of the 'clones' - figured they just couldn't be as good as IBM photos: cats4jan - this is a re-working of a previously posted layoutJanice, these computers are definitely retro. Computers have come a long way! Nice finding! Thanks for acknowledging the images came from your archives! Hopefully you will post back with a timely Retro (in the spirit of the WP challenge). Looking forward to it! |

Came across this today... by definition, junk is sort of Retro. Rick, and what a colorful junk! That yellow car, the star of the show, is indeed retro. Great finding! |

Remember Kodachrome slides? This one would have been taken in the early 60's and the slide projector is of similar vintage - still with the original bulb! Tony, where did you find these jewels? They scream "Retro". Great minimalist composition! |
