I've been around a long time, and even I don't know what THAT is! What IS it?

Sorry for the crappy image, but they also made my favorite, the Jim Jam (on the far right). Yellow cake, creme filling, and a raspberry/coconut coating. Kind of like a predecessor to modern day raspberry zingers.
I'm not 100% sure but that strip of plastic tape at the bottom looks like an updated version to the early 50's - 60's computer punch cards. I think it's a later 60's business computer. They were good at math calculations.
My parents had a huge stereo record player, AM/FM console and when I discovered you could plug in external speakers it really sounded good! My Dad worked 2nd shift and all of us hung out at our house. Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, CCR, Moody Blues, Beatles, Stones...some great memories with that old stereo!
Must be the desktop model!
Thanks...I figured that punched tape was the program the computer was running.

Not in Australia, In China, though. Son got married in China. For the wedding he had to ride a horse, bareback through the village to pick up his bride. Every few feet along the way they were setting off strings of these things! The horse did not even flinch!M80s. When I was a kid/teenager (late 60s), they were the holy grail of fire works. Extremely powerful and dangerous! (Let's not forget cherry bombs also.)
I've not seen any of these for decades! Are they still around?
I saw Chinese new year in PNG as a kid and want to see one in China as it was all stings of these bombs going off out front of every shop whilst the "dargon" would collect his "reward" for dancing! Son is talking about his family heading there for it next year, and I might go with him.
Kids getting spankings in public. (It's child abuse today.)
The funny thing is, today's cell phones probably have more computing power than all those computers combined had.
Great bands doing great performances.
