I'm old emough to remember when...

...when there was LEADED gas
...when I was one of the coolest kids in school because we had a Tandy computer
...Voltron
...hand-drawn cartoons that were twitchy
...libraries
...being able to eat a dozen hard-boiled eggs
...when a 14.4 modem was lightening fast
 
Does anyone remember Bulletin Boards and when modems only ran at BPS? (You know, sorta the "old" internet....?)

or how about just prior to modems, acoustic couplers, i remember having to code old handheld portable data collecters to trasmit data by putting the coupler over the phone and hoping the data got to the other end. never worked in a thunderstorm.

and i do remember the strap at school, detentions where you actually had to clean the chalk board and brushes because you had to write out "i will not punch Billy in the head anymore", 100 times. Okay, i wasn't that bad! "i will not chew gum in class".

i don't know if you all have noticed but where have all the 3 quart milk bags gone? you know a bag of milk that had 3 individual quart bags in them. gone, just like that.

less than 50 cents filled up my scooter with a full tank of 2 gallons gas.

When dirt still smelled new....
