No, I don't remember bags at all; first one I saw in the early 80s was as big as a brick and nearly as heavy with an antennae about 10 inches long. Now I have the new iphone 6 :) How many remember when data input into a mainframe was done by feeding it with cards which had holes punched in them ?

I remember my grandfather teaching me how to type in DOS commands on the computer to run programs... Gods, am I really that ol- er, experienced?
