    I bet a zip drive could blow their minds.

    Show the Blue Yeti streaming generation the old boom mics we had. The ones that looked like refueling probes.

      Lol I remember my dad being so excited when he got one of these for our windows 95 PC that he had us record something for it and told us all about how advanced it was.

      It’s crazy how ubiquitous those were. Anyone with a mic for their PC had that exact mic.

      Back when all that existed for online voicecomms was ventrilo, i took one of those boom mics and taped it to one of the ear muffs of an analog headset meant for cd players, as I could not actually afford a mic+headset combo.

      Worked for years rofl.
