80's Links

Quite often while scraping the cyber bottoms for blog fodder to keep you, the reader, happy & content, I come across some interesting bits of trivia & news that I just don't have time to post and/or comment on. So I'm going to begin - on occasion - posting a list of links to such material for your enjoyment. In keeping with the 88 blog theme, these links will pertain primarily to the 80's and/or anything relating to our growing up years.

Today's post is the first of such lists. Enjoy.
