Although I have to take issue with one comment: No compact discs, no cell phones, no laptops, no PDAs, no MP3 players, no ATMs, no GPS, no digital cameras, not even color computer screens.
Maybe there weren't any ATMs or color monitors up in Orono back in 1984, I can assure you that there were such beasts at Johns Hopkins way back in 1979.
Hmm. Well, I can assure you that the ATMs were at JHU in 1979, because I ran my account dry that year. :-( I can't swear for sure that the Textronix graphics monitors were there in '79 because I didn't start mucking around with the CS lab until the fall of '80, and that's where they were. But I'm absolutely certain that they were around before 1984.
