Sending and receiving emails in the 1980s. Not really sure but the handheld device looks like a Panasonic/Quasar.

What is that...thing...he's standing in front of?

[desbromilow]

and what is the thing you focus most on for "standing out of place"?

in the 1980's the idea of a negro executive was obviously OK, as also the idea of smoking a pipe in public... nowadays I notice the pipe and think "what the hell?"
I find it funny to see things like this, and see how perception has changed over time.

Right?! I thought that, too; 'That dude's smoking inside!'

[mlochala]

Wow, I didn't know they even had that back then.

Ditto that on the smoking. Funny how perceptions change over time.

I have worked in grocery stores, hospital laboratories and pharmacies it was common to see people smoking.....oh and on airplanes!
