Yes. And I still have a working Underwood typewriter and rotary phone.
Speaking of early video games, my family had a pong clone from Radio Shack. Ah, good times.

I still have nightmares about not being able to dial the correct number on a rotary phone.

LOL Not too old, but old enough I guess. My son is 16 now & I blame him for my now graying hair, thus the reason for a bald head.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. How about being able to buy high performance muscle cars for a couple hundred bucks? And being able to actually afford the gas to drive it. So much fun when you put your foot to the floor, you could actually watch the gas gauge creep it's way down.

I picked up a 1968 GT fastback 390 4spd Mustang in 1976 for $400.00 (Steve McQueen, Bullit look-a like). Put sparkplugs in it and it ran great. I could usually make it to the next gas station.
