When on a trip to BC with the family, I thought, 'man, these Canadian women are f'ugly'. Turns out I saw my first tranny. I mean full make-up, dress, wig, etc. Not a good visual for a 10 year old.

It wasn't normal to see armed military personnel all over New York City.

But will it keep up with my 286 motherboard?

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

my first laptop came with a 4GB HDD
When the HDD crapped out I went to replace it and the smallest I could get was a 10GB
I remember being pissed that I had to pay for a 10GB HDD to replace it... I mean, what the hell was I ever going to need that kind of space for?

I remember the days when we had to count the rings on the telephone to know if the call was for you're house.

Or intentionally dialing a wrong number on a pay phone and talking to people all over the country (only a few seconds) between the message from the automated operator and the "please hang-up the phone" signal.

we used the "place collect call to parents, parents refuse the operator and call you back" technique when I was in college

the desks in my university lecture halls had ashtrays.

I remember when products actually had price tags on them...

 

[davnlaguna]

this cost 110.00 which was a month mortgage

my favorite at the time Scoop of Thrifty Drug ice cream 0.05
My dad would give me a 5 bucks and I would walk 5 miles to the store with a bunch of tubes for the TV and test them in the back. But replacements as needed and buy a triple scoop of ice cream for 15 cents and a candy bar for a dime for later.

Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal.... well, that's in my head for the rest of the day.

 

[dash]

Send me a kiss by wire
Baby my heart's on fire
If you refuse me
Honey you'll lose me
And then you'll be alone
Oh baby, tell me that I'm your lovin' man

/Not sure if those lyrics are 100% correct, but thanks to matty, I'll have that in my head all day now
