So I have a background in electrical engineering and have worked as an electronics tech once upon a time, and I am also a sci fi geek who grew up in the 80s listening to Yes, Rush, Tangerine Dream, (as well as Sabbath and other 70s heaviness) and all sorts of synth pop New Wave stuff while watching space shuttle launches and playing Atari video games, etc. etc. ad nauseum...
...and lo! I stumble upon this site, which is kind of like crack for 70s and 80s tech geeks: http://www.retrothing.com/
Old toys, movies, gadgets, musical instruments, on and on it goes. It's almost as bad as TV Tropes for hour-wasting mouse-clicking addiction. Just click on the "Space" section on the right-hand menu, and kiss your real life goodbye for a while...
...then come back here and talk about it so I don't feel like I'm the only retro-tech nerd in the house here.
