Ask Lemmy

My first gaming console was N64 and I remember my parent's paid 700 USD for our 2 bedroom apartment in decent area.

Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

I saw this on Tumblr and thought of this thread. 😃

I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.

I got a 2400 baud modem and thought it was so cool that I didn’t need to use an acoustic coupler

I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

Elders scrolls v is the first game I played

The first time i typed a paper for school i used a typewriter. The last time i wrote a paper for school i used Openoffice.

First manned space flight.

Old.

Grew up using Vista

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

C) The Littlest Hobo

Much of my childhood was spent watching BAMZOOKi and Jungle Run on CBBC.

That's me on the left with my sister. The cat was called Thomas. Any guesses as to the 'pc' ?

I remember the big floppy disks that were actually floppy. But the standard floppy disks were way more common and even they were on their way out

As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).

Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn't carry it yet. It was glorious every time.

I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.

Younger than the iphone 👶

Old enough to watch the moon landing, but too young to remember it.
