February 19, 201016 yr You know you're of a certain age if..... you remember when the TV just went off at a certain point at night. National anthem followed by a blank screen. Think a 22 yr old can even comprehend that?

February 19, 201016 yr When you had to get up off the couch to change a station. When you had to stand holding the antenna with one foot off the ground to get a picture. When you had to use a vertical image knob to stop the image from flipping over and over and over.

February 19, 201016 yr When you answered your phone because there was no caller id to screen it. Everybody just picked it up and said Hello? Anybody remember "ON" tv?
February 19, 201016 yr Shoot, I was just watching a VHS movie last weekend and was so thrown off by the fact that there wasn't a "menu" button I could hit to skip all the previews and start the movie...:lol: And don't even get me started on the confusion I felt when the movie ended and I had to rewind it....

February 19, 201016 yr When your Atari or later on your Nintendo cartridge wasn't working and you simply blew (hard) into it and like magic it started working. To top it off we somehow figured out how to do this without the internet or message boards.
February 19, 201016 yr How about returning glass soft drink bottles for the refund? Had a job while in high school at a grocery store, where part of the job was to sort all the returns. Had to seperate them by distributor, so they could be picked up by the proper bottler. I do not miss those days!
