I miss the shopping malls of the 70's & early 80's.. all the indoor plants and water features. Also, I love looking at pics of dead malls.

Reply to TIL the first Blue LED wasn't commercially available until 1989 and bright blue LEDs weren't available until 1993. by j-merc23
In 98 or 99, blue LED's we're still so expensive that I bought 1 to replace the green LED on my PC's power light. I was going to put them all over the PC case, but instead went with some cold cathode tubes.. the tubes and power supply was still cheaper than buying 1 LED. If I remember right, the LED's were like 25$ each..

I just love the things you say,
guess that's why you're smart about primate ways..
