Amazing. It's funny that the 90's are all 72 degrees and fluorescent lights for me: started med school in '91 and then did 6 years of neurosurgery residency. So I don't recall music other than what my professors played in the OR and books other than Apuzzo's "Brain Surgery" and other riveting classics!

Med school would sure keep you occupied. I turned 15 in 1990, so the decade for me was all cars, jobs, high school, college, and lots of music. At least, “lots” in a world of mix tapes and used CDs.

Yet another book I have to add to my must read list! I was only a small child in the 1990s but it’s my intention to do some research on different topics of the 90s one day. There’s a lot of things I miss from back then... including the end of pay phones for the most part! I have some odd obsession with them, even though I’ve never actually used one.

There are so many great technological oddities from the 1990s. It was impossible to imagine working in an office without a fax machine back then. Now it’s almost impossible to find one.

Oh yes! And now “faxes” can arrive like email. (I don’t know how this works but I know it’s in one of the offices where I work.)
