We are living in exponential times.

Yo I’m talking about how life, the world, was different just 10-20 years ago. Not just old shit that’s been replaced with new shit.

Ever open an actual encyclopedia?

Ever go to a library and take out books to research a paper?

Remember when there wasn’t a Bush or Clinton running for office? (Hasn’t happened in 20 years.)

I rember getting tapes from the library and vhs movies

What about VHS movies

i have a 8 track player in my truck still :gotme:

We used to have to sit through the news to get a weather report.

we had a beta player when I was a kid

with a WIRED remote.

That hasn’t happened since 1979, it’s been about 30 years of Bush or Clinton fighting for the whitehouse

Wow your bringing back some memories. My old man had a Tandy and i was like wtf is that thing for. He would try to explain about how it was going to revelotuionize the world and i was like no way. Back then my mom would yell for us to come in the house. These days i find myself yelling at my kids to get out of the house LOL. Any of you guys remember Remember Amherst BMX. It was a huge BMX track on transit by clarence center rd. (behind where noco/carwash is), actually right on the corner was Chucks Karts (go cart joint). I spent the summers of 82/83 (yeah i’m old) as a mongoose Factory Flyer. There was BMX tracks everywhere in WNY. Of course this was back when all The Bike manufacturers were in southern calif. The only competitive offshore manufacturer was Kuwahara and they were only popular because they supplied the BMX bikes for the movie “ET”. They held local try outs to be in the movie (unfortunately I was in Indy for a national event the same day). wow the memories.

I remember sitting at home watching the breaking news that Bush was telling Saddam we were coming in to get him… the first time of course.

Seriously? I didn’t think Bush Sr ran until the 1992 election. Fucking hell.

:lol:

Bush Sr was VP of Regan Admin

remember when modems were rated by baud? back in the good old days of bulletin board systems

Anyone remember gold circle? and not quite as old, but the brand names store?

buffnet

hahaha, the tracking thing sucked on those

haha calling Zerodaze

When I was in young everybody went outside and played after school. They didn’t sit inside and text message each other.

Online chatting was so new, nobody did it except when it was too dark to play street hockey.

There was less than a handful of obese kids in high school.

93 octane was 1.10/gallon.

Lazertag!!

yea zerodaze is pretty old and obsolete too.

Turning off all my phone ringers in my house so my buddy could connect to my computer via dialup to play Doom deathmatch. Then even better, Buffalo Doom Server (a service which cost about 15 a month) for locals to hook up to play together. I recall saying “Holy shit, this is absolutely insane. There are 7 other people online that I’m playing against all in the same room. And I heard that they will soon be able to support a 16 player server in the near future” Everyone was sooooooooo amazed.

yea …nevermind
