Ask Lemmy

My first gaming console was N64 and I remember my parent's paid 700 USD for our 2 bedroom apartment in decent area.

Much of my childhood was spent watching BAMZOOKi and Jungle Run on CBBC.

I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

I got a 2400 baud modem and thought it was so cool that I didn’t need to use an acoustic coupler

16ish

My first computer was a Sinclair

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

I still call them Opel Fruits

Grew up using Vista

I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday

I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.

There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money

My mom watched the Watergate hearings while she was pregnant with me.

Elvis and I were alive at the same time.

I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.

AIM away messages and the passive flex of who has the best 'buddyprofile' that may or may not link to a livejournal or xanga page

I still feel shy when buying beer

Elders scrolls v is the first game I played

TVs have a UHF switch so I can finally watch more channels. I really hate putting tinfoil on the rabbit ears and opening the window to sometimes get these new channels though, but they work better if I hold onto the antenna. It's hard to see what I'm watching if I do this, but at least I can mostly hear what they're saying, and the picture is dark anyway, so even if I could see at this angle, it would be too dark and snowy.

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

Old enough to watch the moon landing, but too young to remember it.

The first time i typed a paper for school i used a typewriter. The last time i wrote a paper for school i used Openoffice.

I remember the big floppy disks that were actually floppy. But the standard floppy disks were way more common and even they were on their way out

Old.

I watched the Challenger disaster on the wheelie TV cart

That's me on the left with my sister. The cat was called Thomas. Any guesses as to the 'pc' ?
