I was around for the fall of the VHS, the rise of the CD, and now the fall of the CD.

Eh I was born in 1989.

[Cajun]

1984 ;)

'46.......that 1946!!! Our first telephone number was 107. You picked up the receiver and waited for the noisy operator in twon to pick up, my best friend was 49. Those were the days! The town supplied its own telephone, electric, water. Fire was 80% vols. There were ( I think) 5 police officers and no one locked their doors. Today I live in a city (close to the ocean and woods----but still a city), keep a loaded gun and a PitBull mix in my locked and gated yard. Believe me back then was better. I'll be 66 in two weeks!

I find the years keep picking up speed. Live it while you can....

That is a 1955 JD 70 diesel that I had brought in from Canada about 10 years ago. It has a 4 cylinder gas engine called a pony to start it. The tractor has 6 volt system for the lights and the pony starter. It is a cool tractor to drive.

Last year of the draft.
First car I bought was a 59 beetle
was good with a slide rule
Remember buying Pabst blue ribbon with a slightly altered ID for 99cents a sixpack
To truly appreciate these computers, I think you should have learned to type on a manual typewriter, and actually make copies with carbon paper
However, 80% of my guns are older than me!

[BlakeM44]

I'm sixteen. I hope by the time I'm in my seventies(If I'm lucky!) I can still own guns!

First computer I ever used in prep school had a card reader and a big red button in the middle of the console that activated a fire extinguisher. Room had to be virtually refrigerated. IBM donated it to the school.

First "portable" was an Atari that my company (an advertising agency) bought to show clients we were on the cutting edge of technology. CEO had a finish carpenter build a wooden case with handles so we could schlep it around. The primary drive? A cassette tape.

That's how old.

It sounds like we are about the same age. 8 track tapes? Gasoline for 19.9/gallon. That beetle was a six volt I believe, you never had anyone flash their lights for you to dim them. Do you remember that Moses kid that was a couple of grades ahead? Was your altered ID a draft card? Those were easy. fDriver's licenses had no photos.... Color TV was what the rich kids had. Alice and Jerry. Watching cartoons on Saturday morning and seeing a commercial for what to do in case of an atomic attack.

The IH 1086 was the work horse, and then Case bought them out. But we baled with an old Farmall H.
Only 4 channels on the TV and when you made one click on the remote it went chunk chunck onto the next channel. Disney movies almost every Sunday night. That was if dad let you use the TV. Deer running all over the back yard till they built a golf course there. No more deer.

[bunkysdad]

My first "real" stereo was a Pioneer Supertuner FM only with 8 track tape player- it was a underdash! I remember my first tape I bought for it: Fleetwood Mac Rumors. It went in my first car, 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 with the 352 4 bbl
