I’m so old I remember…

Great collection! i still have some 8 track (no player) vinyls, and cd's. My turntable was the Accutrac, the first turntable that theoretically "read" the song spaces and positioned the stylus over the groove. Beginning of computer technology.

Love that. Still have a pretty massive vinyl collection. Let’s of LPs and 45s.

I remember my grandmother regularly giving out 50 cent pieces. And then going to the penny candy store on the corner to buy a bunch of candy.

I also remember going to her basement and playing in the coal.

You could leave a letter and a quarter in your mailbox and mailman put a stamp on it in their car.

I had a friend around 2009 or so who would collect old computer mice and then strip the rubber off the balls to use them in his wrist rocket.

Gonna have to re-title this thread to "I'm So Old I DON'T Remember" for a second.

I made coffee this morning. Completely forgot about it until just now. Six hours later.
I'd make a new cup, except I'll probably forget about that one too.

The best bit was cleaning the rollers.

I remember, before it took over an hour to download a naked picture on the computer, we had to go to the local corner store and buy an actual magazine with naked pictures in it. And before we were old enough to do that, stealing the family Sears catalog for the woman’s section.

When 40 was old, $100 meant you were rich, Friday night was a McDonalds night, and Saturdays were all about cartoons, playing outside and wrestling.
If I had a time machine right there is where you’d find me.
