Are you old enough to have done the following?

djmtsu · 03-17-2011, 08:16 PM

Done all that.

Had the Atari 2600, and I raise you a Commodore 64

The original Test Drive was EPIC!

RotorDad · 03-17-2011, 08:40 PM

Ha ha I had a Commodore 64, 128 & Amiga as I also have done the above. I also remember having a Betamax player.

Yes, and I spent it outside crushing the neighborhood kids at street hockey. Then I turned 13 and bought a boat and my summers were spent as the neighborhood pimp/whore

Who remembers being in grade school watching live coverage of the moon landings?

What about the Nixon impeachment?

Or the evening TV news coverage of Vietnam?

Buying cigs for 50 cent a pack.

Yes again to all of the above. That last one had me LMAO.... I'm a non-smoker, but back in those days in Brooklyn NY where I grew up, my dad & mom would often send me to the stores up the street to buy stuff for them and cigs & beer were on the shopping list. I was maybe 9~12 years old, and the corner store guy would sell me whatever I asked for without question. Sad but you can't send your kid to do that anymore in today's "gov't knows best" nanny welfare state!
