I am laughing at Tina when she took what Julia Styles' character said so literally @ 8:43 lmao! When she said trashing I think she meant the trash in the compuer NOT literally sticking your damn hands in the trash can haha! I love this show!
@tapeafriend Uh-uh. Too obvious. If she'd done it, she wouldn't be spouting off about how much she knows about hacking. Not a good way to avoid suspicion.
Damn this is throw back..... i remember me having a huge crush on Tina way back when but hated alex for getting with her... but Julia was a beats way back then
Every year that I was in elementary and middle school the librarian would explain to the students how to use the card catalog. By the time high school started card catalogs were obsolete.
@stilllookingaway I remember in elementary school, the librarian got so annoyed with me because i said that i wasn't going to use the card catalog when i grew up. By the time I got to junior high, there were no card catalogs lol.
lol. Hector got carded! Anyway, it's cool to see those old library card catalogs. "Old School" database. Wonder what the "new kids" 20 years from today will think when they hear about wireless broadband, solid state drives, iPads, quad-cores, flash memory, Blu-ray, Facebook, Google, and other stuff...Thanks again for the great upload. It would be a shame to lose shows like this one.
so complicated at the library! The weird thing is that nowadays if we wanted info on anything including computers we'd use a computer to find it. Weird that they never say the word "Internet"
LOL @ how many timez they list Calvin as a suspect. Only one case he was guilty! And they never him live it down ever since! LOL @ him likin Lenni & her rejectin him. He couldve done so much better.
Wow, card catalogs. That is ancient. I know they were trying to teach kids how to find books in libraries, but how sad that that knowledge is now obsolete.
Anyone else here find it strange how slowly the kids typed in this series? Or the fact that they ALL had the exact same handwriting and they wrote almost as slow as they typed?
Wow, it's a little scary to see how fast technology advances. In this video, floppy disks, modems, and card catalogs are at the cutting edge of technology. What do you think that means for the future generations?
"Wow, grandpa. I can't believe you used to watch videos with your EYES. That must have sucked."
oh the card catalog! i miss them, and the little table pull out thing where you had to put the drawer when you were searching, and the smell of old paper cards...classic...
I remember watching this episode around the time I also got my first pc. It was interesting and educational to learn about computer stuff at the same time. GW had some really interesting plots. I always loved when they found out something new about gw like when he could travel time and then the internet in this episode. Even 15 years ago seems like such simpler times, just before technology boomed like never before..
"Print this out so we can scope the hard copy" - LOL. When first i saw this episode i hated all this crazy slang that was used. I was like " Noone talks like that"
I remember when I was watching this episode 10 years on the disney channel on British Sky TV! I only had part 3 on tape!!! Thanks for having uploading these episodes!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! That modem just makes me laugh. My brother and i were addicted to this program when we were kids! Technology has changed a lot after 15 years! :)
If I was Tina, I would get out of the school paper pronto. Don't like that punk thing nor the leader's attitude. Here's hoping it is just for the show and not real, hate to see her (punk girl) like that now.
unfortunately if tina wants to be a journalist, she'd be dealing with erica-types nonstop :( also it's pretty unrealistic they'd hand off a hot story to a new reporter
@chickensaver I was shocked when I saw him in this. They already have Alex so it is eventual that he will be phased out, which he was. Then they brought into tina?
When I first watched this episode, I was in awe at all the advanced technology---computers, modems, communicating with people through a computer, etc. I thought it would be so cool to be able to do that stuff. And now, here I am, doing those very things, and it seems like nothing.
do you notice how everyone has to teach hector everything? if he's such a fuckin retard, why did ghostwriter choose him to be on the team. it slows the cases down when hector's like "duh, what's a clue guys? i don't understand? duh."
dude, this makes you realize how much time has passed since we were kids. A modem being this crazy technology "that lets computers talked to one another".
and we lived to tell about it, i tell kids in elementary/jr high and they think im like afreakin dinosaur ..cause now its wireless and routers..i hated that internet noise when it first came out..
hahaha!! love how tina just took the whole fuckin trash bag! oh and ive also nvr seen anyone that excited ovr a library card. =] such a great show. lol
How did we live in a world where modems were seperate investments and as big as shoeboxes, and now they're inside your computer the size of post-it notes...my god we are old.
I know, though I do have a seperate cable modem, but I remember using dial up and hearing it squeee while it was dialing and then run slow as molasses when you tried to do anything harder then opening a website...
That's what happens when a show doesn't have enough funding to reshoot mistakes. The show is still great, but it is funny to make fun of mistakes like that. :)
