I have the motherboard of a Commodore Amiga 500 on my wall. The one I got as a kid back in '89. What is interesting is that it actually has a chip called Paula 
They don't make 'em like that anymore.
That brand of computer had a peculiar hippie influence though - on crashing, it gave the message "Guru Meditation"...
Though I believe the Atari ST was more popular with musicians due to its sound features.

Hmmm, the eighties for me were bands like The Cure, Iron Maiden, The Divinyls, Faith no more,INXS, Eurythmics, I'll stop there or I'll go on for pages.
Movies that stand out for me are The Friday the Thirteenth series, Any of the treasured works by Cheech and Chong, and my favourite gang movies of all time The Wanderers and on a darker note, The Warriors.
Probably the worst fashion of all in my lifetime so far, and much to my disdain, it's all come back. Bubble skirts, spray on jeans with high tops (laces undone of course) Heavy Metal Patches on denim jackets *shudders* and bloody flouro *covers eyes in order not to get retina damage*
Oh and who could forget LIVE AID

For my part, I would recommend the following movies:
Romper Stomper I dont really understand how Romper Stomper could show how the 80s "used" to be. Could you explain please?
2. GG Allin. Didn't care if anyone came to his shows. Could care less if he made a nickel. Wasn't worried the cops were waiting for him outside. He threatened to kill himself at the next show more times than I can count. Crapped himself, pissed himself. GG Allin is a comical genius. xD I have yet to see "Hated".
I myself was born in the late 80s and grew up during the 90s. I never liked the 80s much, the 90s was always my favourite decade. Everything was good back then when it comes to TV, music and games. I love it. Most of those things now are basically shit.
