I will try to post a singer or band that was on big at that time and you name it and as an added bonus name a track from there album. Anyways here's the first one. And I will try to find some nifty toys or gadgets that was around that time as well.

I DO remember that calculator thingie. I never owned one though.
Do you remember that horrible Ronald McDonald doll that supposedly taught kids how to tie shoes etc?
ugh, still makes me shudder.
yuck! Clowns. Man Happy meals back then were cool.
Dude!
I loved the little professor. That was some high tech learning righ there.
Poor guy will forever be remembered by his hair!
I loved that Little Professoe. I also had Merlin. Remember that red phone looking thing?
OOh! I SO remember the little Professor! I don't recognize the band by the picture, but I'm sure I'd recognize a song if I heard it!
The 80's are a bit of a blur for me... not that I was partying, it was lack of sleep from bringing up two toddlers. My son played non-stop with Commodore 64 and I spent hours typing in programs so that he would have new games to play. I should have known that it was a peek at what was to come... he still plays video games, but Commodore 64 is probably in some museum at the moment. X-Box is now his present interest. Doesn't look as if it is going to end any time soon. Looking forward to more memories from this decade. I know that they are in my head somewhere.
A Touch of Style :)
Ragdoll: your right he will be remembered for his hair.
Salena: the band is Flock of Seagulls one famous song that comes to mind is "I Ran."
SP: LOL!!! I remembered programming a graphic of a helicopter that flew from one corner to the opposite bottom corner I thought I was a computer geek back then.
Ahhh, so that is Flock of Seagulls. I wasn't sure, but shoud have known by the hair. I actually saw them play live once. The Fixx opened for them, and we went more to see the Fixx than FoS.
Oh, and I do remember the little professor. It scares me to see the picture. Never had one though.
I look forward to more of these little mind-benders.
