Recommended Posts

no, I feel fucking old because I remember:

- manual typewriters, with ink ribbons!

- "remote control" that you ran from a cable from across the room

- having the discussin with Dad as to whether we should buy a VHS or Betamax machine. $500 later we bought the VHS.

- video cameras that you held on your shoulder and weighed about 75 pounds.

- the "olympics" game on Commodore 64

- when the TV was on the fritz, you'd get up and bang the shit out of the side wooden panels

- going to a record store and seeing their selection of "CD's" - all 20 of them - racked behind the counter

- phoning a 1-800 number in California to get the Grateful Dead setlists from 2 nights before

- someone sitting me down and saying "this is the world wide web - this is what a web address is - etc". I was, like, 16.

To this, I add:

- having vertical and horizontal hold controls on the TV, and having (and knowing how) to use them

And Commodore 64? Youngster. :) I remember the ZX-81 and Vic20 (not to mention the TRS-80 Models I and III)...

Aloha,

Brad
