That might be too new too. More like an Atari or Intellivision. (That rocked at the time!!!)

I'm so old that when I went to high school, we didn't have a history class.

Kids. A couple of months ago my 9 year old son asked me if I could remember the day that Lincoln was shot!

I've never had a vehicle with remote unlock, and 3 weeks ago I got my first smart phone. My back hurts often, and my right knee clicks when going up stairs. I see kids these days and just shake my head.... I'm 24. I'm too old for my age.

Sometimes the kids laugh when I mention watching "Fireball XL-5" back in 1961. Traveling to other planets was just a dream back then. They can't understand my facination with pics & such from alien worlds nowadays.
