I know that in 92 a IBM 1 GB cost $10,000. 4 meg of ram cost me a few dollars too. Dialup was at 2400 and actually took nearly a 1/2 hour for a page to come up.

Actually, we both mean "phallus". Oh, real mature with the tard thing. How old are you, 30? Whatever, I'll get over it.
Regards, dictionary.com:
phal?lus (fāl'əs) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. phal?li (fāl'ī') or phal?lus?es
Anatomy
The penis.
The sexually undifferentiated tissue in an embryo that becomes the penis or clitoris.
A representation of the penis and testes as an embodiment of generative power.
The immature penis considered in psychoanalysis as the libidinal object of infantile sexuality in the male.

PS: I don't watch 60 minutes, I'm a teenager.
But yes, Mike Wallace is super hot.

For all I know about your thought process you meant to use the word peanut butter. I only pointed out your sh*tty spelling. And, no, I meant to use the word "phallic" not "phallus". There's a difference.
phal?lic [fal-ik] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
?adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or resembling a phallus.
2. of or pertaining to phallicism.
3. genital (def. 2b).
And like I told you in my reply to your whining PM - grow some skin.
