And hey, guess what the local rag featured today - yep, drive-ins: pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/living/movies/s_511528.html [pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/living/movies/s_511528.html]

MS DOS & The Oregon Trail game. Pong & Pacman. Then VisiCalc or Lotus, Word Perfect, & DBase 4, the original office suite. Doom. Game Boy & Super Mario. The technology was limitless, hehe.

Remember when Saturday mornings were dedicated to kids? tvparty.com/sat.html [tvparty.com/sat.html]
(hit the drop-down menu {"Find It FAST"} on the left to see what was on the tube every Saturday morning from the mid 60's to the late 80's. It's under "TV Party - Saturday Mornings")

Great tune Rumi - Saturday mornings always remind me of Buffalo Bob, Clarabel, and...Howdy Doody! (I was 10 in 1959, lol) Can't forget Captain Kangaroo & Mr. Greenjeans, either.

Oddly enough, Captain K was the original Clarabel the Clown on Howdy Doody. He managed to get canned from the show twice before finding his own niche.

Now I gotta find the theme - "It's Howdy Doody time, it's Howdy Doody time..." youtube.com/watch [youtube.com/watch] (a weak imitation, but the best I could find)
