Remember Test Patterns and just three channels on TV? Oh, yeah, the patriotic "sign-offs" at midnight?

Yup
Well, we didn't have the "patriotic sign offs" but the rest. Yeah :D

It is best to live for today and look forward to a new tomorrow.

Note the number of stars on the flag? This is a fairly new one.

I remember when someone called Seoulsomething-or-other used to put up fifteen questions a day, all with large poll questions. I miss those days. Now I have to hijack unrelated threads to make fun of her...and that's a lot more work... Man, things were easier in the olden days.

I remember Mom's Smith-Corona, my super cool IBM Selectra (and thinking nothing of typing with that monster on my lap), my brother's Tandy 8088, my in-laws Atara, which had so much memory you could type a whole novel on it, my Brother's (company name, not relative) word processor -- never to need whiteout again (and, yeah, I still use whiteout but to write on dark surfaces) -- our HP 486 with Windows 3.11, that new thing called "the Cyber highway," (today is the Internet's 25th anniversary), when I could put the wash in the washer and then into the dryer before a page loaded but still thought that was cool, when 9800 baud turned into 26K, and then 56K, and then DSL, when "no one needed that kind of speed," when kb's turned into gigs, when Yahoo replaced AOL, when Google replaced Yahoo, when desktops became laptops, but laptops burned my lap, and not being able to tell the difference between DSL and FiOS.

Hey, I know it's 15 years later, but that's where I settled into my comfort zone. lol

When you were a kid, do you remember drawing an American flag when there were 48 states? (The last two states joined the year I was born, so I never had to learn to draw the flag differently.) Now, I'm sure you remember 48 states, but the likelihood of remembering drawing one particular picture as a kid is not something that remains clear after a while. I just remember because I cheated and did five rows of ten stars, which isn't the real design.

It was honestly a little difficult to get used to the offset stars.

I remember being at an IBM Users Group meeting when the 286 came out. We were all amazed at the blinding speed. I think it only took about two minutes to make an internet connection....... or something like that.

I remember my first car. A 1953 Studebaker I got for $150 from an old man.

I remember shaving one side of my head and having the other side longer so I could look cool and flip it. My Mom was so mad at me for that.
