You used to dial your phone with an actual dial.

You had to wait for your TV to warm up after turning it on before a picture would appear.

Your first computer used your TV set as the monitor.

You only had a single battery operated toy as a boy, and it was no fun because the adults never bought batteries.

You wrote the networks a mean letter (or as mean as a 5 or 6 year old can get), because they pre-empted your cartoons for *gasp* the moon landing.

(yes, I really did that. Somewhere I still have the nicely worded response from NBC with the Peacock logo on it and all)

Your first programming language was Basic, and GOTO was a nifty command.

You didn't HAVE computers to use in school until College. Then it was only in the classroom or the lab.

The pull tabs on soda came completeley off, and you used to put them inside the can, despite your parents' certainty you would choke on them.

You could buy mixed lollies in a white lolly(candy) bag for 20cents and get a lot.

Your mum used a wringer to do the washing.

Had to do you maths on a piece of paper and work it out in your head not no calculators then.

You read the time as O'clock and the clocks only went up to 12

You called teachers sir or Miss and not by there first name.
and finally

You remember getting paid $78 a week and thinking it was a fortune and still had money left by next pay. It came ina pay packet not direct to your bank,. and you were paid by the week.
