Important Stuff From 1979

Look at everything that was happening in 1979!



1979 was the year that Skylab re-entered Earth's atmosphere, disintegrated, and burned up over Australia.  BTW, Pluto was still a planet when we graduated.


The first Sudoku was published.  Back then, it was called "Number Place."



About the time we graduated, the Gossamer Albatross, a human powered plane, successfully crossed the English Channel.


1979 was the year that "Alien" hit the movie theaters.  Man, that movie scared me.


"Mad Max," too.

Although Apple didn't release the iPod until October 23, 2001, the technology was invented in 1979. Meanwhile, we were lugging our gigantic boom boxes around everywhere...



...unless we had a Sony Walkman, also invented in 1979.  

The compact disk player, too.  


Rollerblades and snowboards...



An Nacho Cheese Doritos!  Remember these commercials?
