Today while listening to ABBA and Jefferson Airplane I started reminiscing of the days of yore. You know the days of yikes black and white television and before cable TV existed. Yes I do remember those days. I also remember Z 80 chips, The WANG, The Apple IIIe, The first MAC and the days before the invention of the cell phone. I can remeber when there use to be billboard communications, I remember the first microwave and DVD player. Oh boy if I keep going at all the things I remember a few more grey hairs may pop out of my head. LOL

The Apple III really sucked.  The II was the best Apple prior to the Mac SE.  And I got more grayhairs than you!

I'm not that old (says the old lady) but I was shocked to find myself uttering these words "When I was a kid movie matinee's were only $2.50. I can't believe it's $5.75 to see a matinee now!"

My childhood and teen years were in the eighties and early nineties...kids these days now think those times are SO ancient.

Cell phones - I still not used to it.
I see someone holding their hand to the side of their head, talking to themselves.
I was taught to stay away from them!

Well if you can pay $5.75 and see a movie in a regular movie theater that is cheap. I have to wait until major pictures go to the cheap theaters a mantinee around here is $7 and the evening $9 at the regular theater. At the "cheap" theater they're $5. I wind up renting videos occationally . I can rent 2 movies for 5 days and still pay less then $7 figure that one out. Most likely you do have more gray hairs recently I got my hair professionally done as a B-Day gift. As far as people talking to themselves go I do that all the time. I think it's scarier when people actually start answering themselves.
