If you're old enough, you don't need to be told who these figures are or what show they were from...

🤷‍♂️😝Me to Johnny, me to....

This is my local ABC affiliate, and I remember this episode being a big deal back then!  Discussions at church and such.  Most of us kids were rolling our eyes. 
 

My Dad had one exactly like this.  I was the last one to use it when I converted everything from 8mm to VHS, which I later transferred to DVD's and now those old home movies only reside on hard drive.  Back in 1992 the bulb was $30.00!

Who had a sweet bike like this?  I had a knockoff from Montgomery Wards.  No shifter on mine though.

 

That looks really nice! Very much like the ColecoVision version. I wouldn't have expected TI-99 to look this good.

How about these old mimeograph machines from grade school?  The copies came out purple and they smelled good. 

Did anyone play with these?

My little brother and I would use them to chat after bedtime.  Also used them for pranks and hijinx, like suddenly buzzing a roomfull of people XD

My great-grandmother had one and she used it!  She also had one of these...

I had these intercoms and really enjoyed them, until new neighbors moved in next door with a pair on the same frequency.  I ended up having to buy a new set with multiple channels.  Radio Shack.

I'm currently paying only $25.00 per month for... 
  .. which is half of what I was paying for 12 Mbps from CenturyLink before I moved.
I'm satisfied with Xfinity for downloading, but it's upload speeds fluctuate between 1Mbps and 6Mbps depending on time of day.  Now to answer your question, I only stream.  Honestly, I've got too many irons in the fire to watch much TV, let alone pay their bloodsucker prices for a "service" I ignored 90% of the time.  Besides there is so much FREE stuff on a ROKU you can actually spend your whole day deciding on something to watch.

Oh gosh!  Some memories are better left dead!  I cannot tell you how many pictures I took with my 110 instamatic POS camera only to get back blurry pictures.  When digital cameras came out I was so ecstatic!

Did you ever see one of these in action?
 

Alright, I'll play a round of this game 🙂

(hehehe - i couldn't help myself with the last one 😛 )

When our oldest was 7 he spent the summer in NYC with both sets of grandparents. We gave him a Polaroid to take with him and to this day, he has an album full of pictures that he took from that summer. The camera might still be in his apartment. 

I used these to take TV screen pictures...


 

Friends, we aren't old....we're EXPERIENCED!
Who remembers this crap...you'd have to wait two weeks to see how terrible your pictures were 🙂  



 

These should be remembered...
