1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to take you for a little trip down

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: memory lane. That's imagine if you worked in an office,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, thirty years ago.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so remember.

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 3: Remember they working from work days?

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: Really weird.

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: Do you remember leaving the house, saying goodbye to the

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: kids and getting the train to work?

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't remember.

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: Work used to say, why don't you work from home today?

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: There's no way I'm not working from home. I'm coming

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 3: into work.

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll never get anything done if I stay at home. Awesome. No,

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this too, because I saw

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: the story and we are going mad for the nineties

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: in our house at the moment, and I'm loving it

18
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: because my daughter is absolutely fascinated with things that don't

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: exist anymore.

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I bought the original game Boy the other day.

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I did you with Tetris? Oh that's okay.

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: I think I've got a Donkey konground somewhere that I'm

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: trying to dig out because I still have a lot

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: of a lot of things. We're listening to old songs

25
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: and then I saw this list pop up, and I

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: don't know. You tell me if you've still kind of

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: got these floating around, but they're vintage items. Now these

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: are the top ten obsolete office items, and so very

29
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 2: sad kids listening probably I haven't even heard of a

30
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 2: floppy disc.

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I haven't seen one in twenty years. So

32
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: much a floppy disc.

33
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: So I remember when I got a Commodore sixty four

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: for the first time.

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: And the games were about what are we talking about?

36
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: A floppy disc?

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the games are on a floppy disc. And

38
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: Dad went to work one day and a guy burnt

39
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: all these games under a floppy disc. And I can

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: remember being so excited that there was double drag and

41
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: there was a double All the best games were on

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 3: this one sloppy disc, but they could get damaged very easily.

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: It was. But the evolution of the floppy disk went

44
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: into the small hard disk here, yeah.

45
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: The mini disc.

46
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: It was nothing wrong with.

47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: The mini disc. Who else has got a fax machine?

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: A roll?

49
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Do you know what?

50
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: I love rolodex And I remember this is going to

51
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: show my age. I would use my dad's rolodex from

52
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: the police station in Campbelltown and it was an empty one.

53
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: It wasn't full of the drug dealers, and it made

54
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: me feel like I was working in an office.

55
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: You know that don't know what a rollodex.

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: What a rolodex is, isn't the rolodex, if I have

57
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: it correctly, is the thing where if you need to

58
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: find Jess McNally in the rolodex and her phone number,

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: you would put it, scroll it down to M. The

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: little shift would go down and then you'd flick it

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: up and it would come up on the M page

62
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: and then you'd have Jess phoney. It was amazing. Rollodex

63
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: is correction fluid. I think people still use liquid paper.

64
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Who's got a landline phone anyway?

65
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: I don't. Do you know what I have got. I've

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: got one of the old public phones, the red phones.

67
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: Do someone like a phone? Gave it?

68
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: Someone gave it to me for my fortieth birthday.

69
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: I stole it.

70
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't.

71
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: It doesn't work. But it's just one of those retro

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: public phones that used to go into and you used

73
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: to and it's also got that you had to wind

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: the numbers.

75
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I quite like those business card holders. Now this

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: is the one that they said is obsolete. And then

77
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: I was sitting at my desk reading this story, looking

78
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: at my computer, and it was covered in sticky notes

79
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: with all my passwords reminders?

80
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Are they?

81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: Well?

82
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Apparently sticky notes as password reminders.

83
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: Where do you put your password?

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: If you don't write it on a sticky note and then.

85
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Put it on the wall, you write it in your

86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: notes and then you lock it.

87
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: But I'm writing it on notes.

88
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: In your iPhone. You've got notes, and then you write it,

89
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: and then you put a lock on it, and then.

90
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 2: You forget the password for the lock, yes.

91
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: And then you can't get your password, and then where

92
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: do you.

93
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: Put your crypto password?

94
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to tell anybody where that is

95
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: ever Anyway, I love that.

96
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,039
