Survey: Flashback to 1983

In 1983 Prince said he wanted "to party like it's 1999".  The original "Flashdance" movie was released and Tom Cruise became a heartthrob after his whitey-tighty dance in "Risky Business".  A new Dodge Ram truck was $5665.00, a new house cost $82,600 and a gallon of gas was $1.24.  The computer mouse was newly invented, a "portable" computer was the size of a large piece of Samsonite luggage and cell phones existed only on The Jetson's.

Let's have some fun!  Grab your reading glasses, take your Prilosec and mute your cell phones!  Let's see what your favorite memories are from 1983!
