Q-Link was awesome! I met people from all over the country. I even scored a date with one. Unfortunately it's a story for The Dating Thread.

I almost forgot.

After reading some of these responses, I felt the same way. I mean, I'm not young (remember when microwaves became a house hold item), but damn.

The blonde guy is/was the doctor on NCIS.
I can say the character name but wouldn't be able to spell it.
That was kinda European show.
How about the boys name from Flipper?

I was friends with the guy that played the kid on Flipper-Arthur Norden

Better known as "smear the queer". Just saying that now let's you know how old you are...

Yeah we used to not allow happy people in school back in the days.

How about watching the blocked "adult" cable channels thru the fuzz to occasionally get a glimpse of a side boob!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the schools.
We have tortured all the teachers, we have broken all the rules.
We’re going to hang the principal tomorrow afternoon.
The truth goes marching on.....

I was in grade school so they didn't do that. They may have, nobody in the family was in H.S.

The spice channel, I remember those days.

I remember hearing my Dad cussing in the basement as he was trying to assemble this. My nephews have never heard of this thing.

This was in the very early 90s.We had traditional cable box from a local cable provider that no longer exists. Coming from the coaxial cable out of the wall, there was a little black box with an "A" and "B" switch. A side was local traditional channels and the B side was cable subscription channels. When the parents were away at work, we would switch it to the B side and watch some scrambled green, purple and gray side boob. So exciting to catch a glimpse, haha.

Ya, We had a similar set up but with the huge satellite dish.

We first had to locate the satellite and then input a code to unscramble the transmission. My dad would get the code every month or so by visiting the store which sold him the dish.

This was late 80's early 90's
