... oh yes, I remember owning an Osborne 'carry-on suitcase' computer. It was the first commercial portable computer made. Had that real tiny screen in the center.

To change the subject a little, we were amazed by how nice a 240x144 dpi "near letter quality" dot matrix printer printed compared to the 60 dpi. But it required two passes at 240x72 each.

You would be really old if you drove one of those. My dad had one and kept it for many years. It had a front-end like Madonna, with two rather large cones sticking out. I am talking about a 1955 Buick.

In my case you are old when you remember Madonna!

... you are at an age where your back goes out more than you do.
Actually, to me, old age is always 20 years older than I am.

Always be busy doing something when your kids are around. And make sure they have some chores to do too. Because one day they might be your care-givers, and you don't want a bunch of lazy people for your care-givers...Red Green

When you always tell stories that start with: "In those days"

>>At 19, you're WWWWAAAAYYYYY too young to say "Back in my day...".
It was just a saying. I don't literally say it. Although I do reminiscent about
my childhood where I had no responsibility.
Funny enough, when you're 19, you find out that u cant just say it because you would look stupid and that's why all you can do is flash back in your mind. Once you find yourself saying it, then you are naturally old

If you remember that slot-car racing was big enough that there were 'professional' races with big money prizes and towns as small as 2500 people had a slot-car track. People would spend hundreds of dollars getting their car ready for competition. One of the more interesting tricks was to soak the rubber drive wheels in alcohol which softened them and they had better traction. I think a combination of Pong, computers, and PacMan killed them off.

Whe you remember when you had to wait for an elevator with 15 other people and if you missed it, it was a 15 minute wait for another.
You know what a dial-tone is.
