Re: How Old Are You?
 

LOL!!! I also remember the big broken wooden one it sat on... :l

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Lol....I thought we were the only ones that used the big broken Curtis Mathis as a stand for the new TV. :r

Re: How Old Are You?
 

I remember I was ecstatic when we FINALLY got a TV with a remote. I didn't have to get up and change channels for my parents anymore.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

We don't even watch tv if we can't find the remote. kind of nice sometimes

Re: How Old Are You?
 

I'm old enough to know all of these things and used or played with 75% of them, except for this. Lance, how about a hint? lol

Re: How Old Are You?
 

You would put it by your front door. It went with something.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

How about these?

We have a huge set of glasses bought with those. Inherited them from my MIL.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

You got me on this one. I don't even have a guess.:confused:

Re: How Old Are You?

My mom collected both kinds of stamps and us kids used to help her put them in the stamp books... We were never allowed to come with when my parents redeemed the blue chip stamps. They usually redeemed the green stamps at the same grocery store where they got them.

Now it's all about afinity cards and points; The more things change the more they stay the same :)

So jealous of my friends Commodore 64. I had the Vic 20. Memory storage on cassette tapes. Games were an instruction manual to write it yourself in BASIC.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

I started my programming career using those.

Me old?

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Me too -- in addition to punch tape... :)

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Not old enough to know what most of this stuff is, but I am pretty sure I can name everything and have physically touched or used most of them. :tu

Re: How Old Are You?
 

We owned this little gem when I was little. :tu

Resizing the pic would help.

Re: How Old Are You?

Re: How Old Are You?
 

While Ron has submitted some great ones, Steve's pic FTW!

Re: How Old Are You?
 

I had one of those Little Professor's!

Re: How Old Are You?
 

My first programming job (1976) was on an NCR Century 101. Fast card reader and quire reliable. The IBM card punch machines with the duplicate function were da bomb!

I had been programming for several years beforehand, but the NCR is the only computer to electrocute me 3 times in one day, so it has a special place in my heart.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

how did you electrocute yourself with one of these?

Re: How Old Are You?
 

The switch panel lifts up. It has a 220 input to dive all of it. My stupid boss was telling me how to fix the card reader start button over the phone using a paper clip. After three tries, I told his to shove it and went home.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

I miss these a lot.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Unfortunately I recognize them all. ;):)

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Dang, I remember all this stuff.

I remember when a new yo-yo with a slack tie in the center was the chit!

Re: How Old Are You?
 

My parents had a car and a truck with those windows. They worked suprisingly well.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

is the question how old are you? old as dirt...

Re: How Old Are You?
 

was his instructions to poke around at the high voltage electrified bits until it worked?

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Re: How Old Are You?
 

The start button on the card reader was broken and my boss claimed that it was a common occurrence and knew how to fix it. By the time he said, "well, maybe black isn't the ground", I had had enough.

Re: How Old Are You?
 

when i was a kid, my mom taught me math with that first

Re: How Old Are You?
 

Especially on long trips with no AC.
