Are you this old yet?

Let's not forget the almighty Record Player, a God which fed on plate sized plastics discs with a feeding tube and hummed as it ate the parasites from the surface.
Actually, people still use vinyl today, which is why I didn't mention it.
True. Record Player lives to this day. Cassette tapes made me think of boomboxes and I needed a lead-in.

My first computer was actually SALORA (manufactured by Nokia in early 80's) home computer. Next one was C64. I was the first kid in our area with internet connection (hooray for dad's work computer). I remember communist party marching in streets during every First of May and was in school when Soviet block broke down and our local shoefactory was stuck with 100,000 shoes for right feet (the ones for leftss were already delivered to Soviet Union).
I also own Red Box Dungeons and Dragons and used it and a lot of other RPGs to learn english.
Not so old. I was just the early bird in many things :P
BTW, I might be back in CoA soon. For a while at least.

The last computer class that I took - we were using commodore 64's and Ronald Reagan was president.

Bell bottoms, platform shoes, and oh gods a perm in highschool. my reason was I had the part of Curly in Oklahoma and needed the curl. Had no real excuse for getting it done again, though…

I'm from only the 90s so I'm not that old but the dreamcast was my first system and its still my favorite.

POGS.
Wow, old school.

I'm not even old, and yet I have wrinkles on my face.
I'm worried.

Dreamcast was a very underrated system. Fortunately, it can be emulated today.

I had a dreamcast….til my one and only controller broke on me....

!
Ever seen one?

Ever seen one of these? I had this.

This is a television set.
See those two knobs on the front?
one was UHF (ultra high frequency)
and the other was VHF ( Very High Frequency)We were among the first on our block to have this innovation.
Most of these T.V. Sets required an out door antennae,
a set of "rabbit ears" to increase the reception f the signal, and a child standing and holding the antennae
onthe rabbit ears to improve the picture quality. -
Polaris had a red phone? Mine was only tan.
-
Yeah, I had the coleco vision, the rotary phone and I remember turning knobs on a television.
Now get the hell out of my vegetable patch. I hate lawns. -
Remember when every kid had one of these?
Or who remembers when these were banned from government facilities cause they thought the Russians were using them as spying devices.

Wait, is the abc around it a joke from a mobile-fan site, or is it an actual model with an actual use?
I remember when the lucky ones who were decided to get a phone by the communist government all had these type of phones. (I've recently learned that they even told an approximate timeframe in which no lines will be deployed in certain streets, like "you can't have a phone and we don't plan to change this in the next 23 years")
Then it changed suddenly in the early nineties, when everyone was allowed to have one, and models with buttons spread swift.
My grandmother had such a model however, and it was impossible to wait while the [round object with the holes I can't name in english] returned to its original position and you could dial the next number during making a call.

This is what Arabel would have looked like back then.
"Demons have broken through the barrier."

The ABC is a throw back to when phone numbers were something like BUtterfield 8! so yes, they had a use!
Also, some clever companies whould have there names as phon numbers, think
something like 1-800 CARFAXX
