This is an amusing thread but truth be told we 
had a hard life back then. 

For one thing if we wanted to heat up our food we 
had to use a regular oven since there were no 
microwave ovens. My "home computer" was very 
limiting with 16K of memory although it had an 
amazing 16 colors! Woo Hoo!

I had to use a cassette player to store my 
programs which took a long time and didn't always 
record properly. Computer magazines did give us 
free programs to TYPE in though which was nice.

I remember when VCRs weighed 40 pounds and cost 
$1400 (in todays money about $2500). 
Those "Japanimation" overseas tapes cost over 
$100 each. Who could afford that? 

We had no toilet paper back then....whoops those 
were in my dad's days. Sorry. Anyway....it was 
very tough for us older folks. ^_^

I'm wondering...if songs from my era are on an 
oldies station... does that make me an oldie?
