So the hypothetical principal would have been in high school in the 80s? Getting in the way back machine. Not only you could wear a Timex as a watch, you could own a Timex Sinclair computer. Or you could make you own computer with a PCB, soldering iron and mostly discrete components. If you where flush with cash, you could buy the original IBM PC. 8 bit architecture was old hat even then. Bill Gates was only a millionaire. Even old people had given up their slide rules for calculators. We had all that stuff back then. Do you want to play Ticktacktoe?

Please take this with the tongue in cheek that is intended
