All of these apply. Loved those 8-Track tapes.
BTW, I remember when the remotes first came out. Folks would leave them on the TVs. So they would get off the couch, go to the TV, pick up the remote, and then use it to change the channel.
BTW2, do you remember the remote control adapters for regular rotary knob TVs? Those where cool for their time.

Isn't the fashion of entering numbers on those things very different than most calculators?
...the guy at the Apple store thinks that your buying a MBP for college when your only a freshman in HS.
For me I know I knew I was getting old when I started deciding on whether to play sport (football, tennis etc) based on what I was doing that evening or the next day. It used to be that I could play back to back games of football in a day and then back up for a party that night and a BBQ/bushwalk the next day. Now after a single game I need a long soak in a warm bath and an early night to bed. A low activity next day is required for a full recovery .

Yes, I was 9-12 years old at the time. Yes, I was/am a huge nerd.
When Netscape Beta 0.98 was a big deal because it introduced flashing text and allowed display of JPEG images.
How about this. When you read this thread and feel old because of the things people posting seem so new...
Now I'm thinking that we should get Dr. Q involved to determine the age distribution of MR member's ages compared to the age of Stubeef's HP-12C that is 23 years old.xsedrinam said:Or when you read discussions in here about 10+ year old calculators, go to look for yours to see just how old it is, and can't find it.
I wonder how many members are younger than his calculator?
