The Prophet 5 and Jupiter 4 used CPU’s in 1978. They were pretty commonplace by ‘85

In other news all my tracks sound like they’re from 1985 whether I like it or not…

For my sportswear purists isn’t his Adidas windbreaker from 1991 ? If I only had Sinbad’s number he can confirm.

the one you’re thinking of has more of a forest green, I’m pretty sure teal is from fall of '94.

So that purple is still in mid 80s ? Thanks I liked that shade of purple

I don’t think people discovered purple that early on. let me consult my watch…

narrowing down the culprit…

most people think the year is “1990’s”, because that’s a specific year of course, one I saw said 1980’s. I seem to associate this with bobby brown or new edition with just the windbreaker and no shirt, so what year was that?

I was unable to get a definitive read on the date, but I found several for sale in different sizes if you feel the urge to get jiggy with it.
