I played with punch cards when I was 4. :-*

I think I remember you saying that before. It was also a response to my same remark in another old person thread.  :P You old people, always repeating yourselves.  [laugh]

Most of the motor vehicles I've owned are older than most of the people on this forum.  My first car had a super duper sound system.  AM push button with two speakers.

Of course, I don't know how many kids I have that don't know I'm their Father.

Don't be silly. If he takes a hand off his walker to turn up his hearing aid, he could fall over and break a hip!

I have a couple vehicles I'd be willing to bet are older than you.

Do they move or are they, uh, decorative?

Well, I'm 25 and I'd say I remember 3/4, give or take, of that list.

I fully intend to tell my children and/or grandchildren all about how I didn't have a computer till I was in 4th grade, and didn't have a cell phone till college, and remember having to use a damn map to get places until they become rude and indignant whenever the words "You know, when I was your age..." come out of my mouth.

Hundred Blocks

They don't even use them in Thomas Brothers maps anymore

Cripes, that list makes me feel older than I even am. I remember or was peripherally aware of at least 90. A lot of them are still modern to me.

Two-speaker mono surround sound? Hoity-toit!

Of the four cars I've had/have, only two have had radios at all. For the other two, single-speaker AM radios were apparently a frilly excess that the original owner didn't care for. :P

i would expect you of all people not to fall into the R5 trap.........
Thomas brothers is a west coast centric product, with a little bit in Arizona.
most of the rest of the country has no idea what its about.

also, FTR, when we would go to south zone, they always gave us this HUGE frikin book of maps....which we promptly tossed. WTF to hotshots need street maps for anyway?
