Are you getting old?

[MrLinus]

Oh that's it! Make me feel ancient.

12. And they never understand how could we go out without a mobile phone
when we were in university...

Are you kidding? Mobile phones weren't even invented yet when I was in University. Heck, they weren't when I was in grade school. *sob*

Sigh. Memory is always the 2nd thing to go. And the first? .. ****! I forgot.

9. They can never imagine a black and white screen for a computer.

I still remember being mini and being in awe of black w/ green type.

I'm only 17 years old so why does the second part mostly apply to me?!

How old is everyone else who the second part applies to supposed to be? I think I need to start calculating my early death.

[Faqt]

Good grief..now I feel old (and I'm really not...just 24, that's not old!)

I saw a kid (7 or so) skateboarding down the sidewalk with a cell phone to his ear...we're not getting old, they're getting young.

[debwalin]

I MUST agree with Faqt....they are just getting younger, I'm not really getting older.....*sigh

I'm afraid compared to most of you folks....I'm an old fart...lol....even though I'm only 28. I need to find older people to talk to!!!

I remember sweating through math class and
dreaming "I wish I could invent a gadget
that could do all these calculations"

[tyger_claw]

I was born in 1981, but I remember most of those things!

I remember using good ol' Vic OS when I was two

I feel old though, looking back at stuff like cabbage patch kids, fragal rock, ghostbusters, fat albert...... those were the days!

[bowlfreak]

Being 33 now...what are the things that I remember from being young(er)...

Howz 'bout 5 1/4 inch diskettes that held 540k of information? Or the original Atari game system? Or being excited about getting a Commodore 64 computer? Playing the original Asteroids video game for 25 cents? Or when gas was 30 cents a gallon?

Big Macs in styrofoam containers? The list goes on and on and on.

[xmaddness]

well here is my First computer. I learned basic on that thing when I was about 8 or 9. Something to the likes of:

10 PRINT "Hello!"
20 PRINT "This is my first program"
30 Goto 10

Although, I didn't have the "Cool" floopy drive. I had to back up to a cassette recorded.

I'm only 22, But this makes me feel old...


BTW: I wish I still had my Garbage Pal Kids card collection. Hehe
