When I tell my 6 year old and 10 year old that we used to have to actually get up from our chairs and turn the dial on the television they freak out. Ah kids, aren’t they cute! lol

I had a Commodore 64 and used to play that game called the Oregon Trail. My screen and was green and these corny little graphics, but I loved it!
I always ended up freezing to death in the mountains or being eaten by Indians.

Here was my family’s first computer — it’s selling for $9.99 on eBay

The manual told you how to write a string of code that made it look like a bunch of hearts (or diamonds, or any symbol you liked) were flying across the TV screen. I thought that was the freaking coolest thing ever.

You think that’s bad? We still have a telephone in the basement near the washing machine that not only has the curly cord between the handset and the phone…. but it’s rotary as well!!! Crap. So not funny.

That happens to me when I talk to my youngest brother (9 years younger than me) about things like floppy disks.

OMG the samething happened to me! I have a 2003 Saturn with windows you have to roll down. One Saturday as I took my 4 and 6 year old cousins to the movies, they wanted to roll down the windows but couldn’t find the automatic button. I told them they had to roll it down with their hands and showed them. They laughed themselves silly and for the rest of the car ride it was quiet as the played with their window handles.
Next time they will ask can they watch a dvd in my car. How am I going to handle that?
