Hey, I was born in '81 and feel really old right now. I had a green-screen and a MAC SE.
But, do you remember Calico Vision?
How about The original Transformers or Go-Bots?
What about Voltron?
Do you remember Romper-Room or the Banana Splits?
Lastly, do the names Sid and Marty Kroft ring any kind of bell?
"You're only as old as you feel..."
Bloody hell i feel ancient and im only 21 damn
I'm 20 years old, and I'm already afraid that these youngin's are gonna put me out of the job in a few years.
I remember my first computer
Comidor $100
Book Of Game Code $10
3 hours to type in game code $0
play game for 45 minutes $0
Turning off computer beacuse
mother says "all you do is play
on that thing all day SHUT IT
OFF" and loosing all of that
hard work beacuse there
where no harddrives yet.
PRICELESS!!

I didn't feel old b4..but I sure as hell do now.!
I remember playin the original pong game when I was in Jr high and thinkin " How damn cool is this?!" I remember when calculators in class weren't allowed...the felt it wasn't fair to use one to "cheat"..lol
Really old memory....watchin Vietnam war protests on the news on our old 19" black and white tv.
And the number one way to tell ur gettin old....when your middle kid is graduating high school this year!!
/ goin to find my Maalox
I am 20... going on 21 (born in 81) I'm not old... I'm not even in college yet. I have been out of High School for 3 years though. It's weird to be out of school so long but I'm starting in soon... all this to say I know of almost everything you were talking about.. I dont feel old though. I have a black and white monitor in this room... also one of the green ones too. I started on comps about 10 yrs ago (now that weird to me!) but old isnt really something I think about... Just stay with the times and dont loose yourself in thinking about "youth".
A you youngsters :) Who can remember playing text based games on an old 88 with no hard drive only a flopy drive or if you had the money 2 flopy drives.
Who can remember the old MFM hard drives with the huge capacity of 10 meg
Oh dear ... Now where did I leave my Zimmer frame?Quote:

BTW .. my trusty PC XT is still with me... (Hopeless Elite fan) lets see them put something that good on the X Box.
I remember going back and playing on my old Radioshack Pong Machine!
Hell, I remember opening the box to Doom and thinking, 5 Diskettes?!? Woah! I need to free up some room on the drive! :)
Now I walk around with a Palm in my pocket that's as strong as my old 286! (No color though, yet)
Times change, it's true it's true.....
But most of us in this tread are still young! We're only 18-22, except for our over 35 exceptions, but hey, you guys have witnessed more and probably know how to have a good time better then us!
Besides, like 10101001011 said:
Your only as old as you feel..... and today, I feel like I'm 12! Tomorrow, prob 48
I found myself smiling at the second part, but by the time I got to the bottom I realized:
Age is a number. (Particularly in "cyberspace")
You are only as "Old" as you think you are.
I am positive that I am at least double the age of some of you here, and I still feel like a juvenile delinquent.
My suggestion: Grab your cell phone and your skateboard and have some FUN.
