The Banks billboard brought back memories. My mom used to work in the computer department (or whatever they called their IT center) at Banks D.I.H. when I was a kid. I remember playing with used punch cards and having bags of confetti from the punched out chads.
The slavery discussion brought out a LOL because it was almost exactly what I was taught as a Guyanese schoolkid in the 70's. Especially the part about the Amerindians basically saying, "fuck this shit" and disappearing back into the jungle.
Having lived in the US for over 40 years, I have essentially no connection to the country of my birth any longer (technically I was born in British Guiana, but whatever), so it was interesting to see how it's changed from what I remember. Captions on the photos would have been nice though.
