*BONUS* – Authentically 90’s: Floppy Disks, Analog Video, and 99 Cent Rentals

from Fascinating Nouns

The 90’s were Blockbuster’s heyday.  Back then, flobby drives ruled, HDMI didn’t exist, and movie rentals were ninety-nine cents.  There is one place on the planet where that is still the case:  The Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon.  Listen as Sandi Harding tells me about her room full of antique IBM computers, the analog video system that is only compatible with first generation Blu-ray players, and how they haven’t raised prices in over a decade.
