Just brew it!
When a 'Church Key' was required to open a canned beverage?

And then the pull tabs came out and we thought life was grand. Remember the push button beer cans after the pull tabs hehe.
And now I drink home brew out of a bottle and have to carry a much newer church key around with me. Things have gone full circle I guess.
Gas was $.85 a gallon
It was socially acceptable to wear these in public.
Slap bracelets were cool until they disappeared after becoming a cutting hazard.
Let's hear about your childhood / glory days memories.
I was just thinking about push button cans. I couldn't think of what to call them to look for them.
I learned to use a slide rule in high school. This was right when the personal calculators became popular - which were bigger than today's cell phones. The one below was the popular with the nerds back then. I couldn't afford one, but I wanted one! If for nothing else than to type in 7734! Boy was that a hoot back then
Sounds like you have me beat by just a few years. This is what I was rockin in High School. Nobody disputed my math skillz!
Just went back a page and saw the overhead projectors, and the question about what they use now. Before I retired, some amazing "white boards" were just starting to be used in the schools. I'm not sure what they all did and how they could be used, but I believe that what was written on the board could be copied and printed on 8.5 X 11 paper and handed out, or even downloaded to the student's computer.

The school associated with the congregation I served was just beginning to install those "smart" white boards when I retired in 2009. The only teacher who really knew how to use them was the junior high science teacher...and she did a fantastic job! Me? I have no clue!

We don't have them at the medschool yet, but we use a version of the same software by SMART technologies on the monitors the teachers use in the classrooms and lecturehalls to draw on the screen.
What subject did you teach?
It is a SPIRIT DUPLICATOR. ...
I'll see you and raise you!

Similar to the first computer I ever played on in the mid-1970's. My best friend's dad owned a "computer company" and on the weekends he would bring home on a huge 200lb+ set-up on a big roll-around rack and wee would use a modem (like that one) to plug into the mainframe back at his business and play blackjack and such. The computer had "somehow" learned horrible insults with language that we would never dare use in front of our parents ... to us the foul language made the machine seem even more A.I. !
No mouse ... no monitor ... communicated on the keyboard and read on the printer.
I can remember in high school you could get a 1/4 of the good sticky icky for a 20 spot.
Not that I knew anything about it. Just knew this guy.
I think I knew that guy too.
I've been told that once upon a time it was totally customary to hold a purchase in the air and put your hand next to it to measure it in "fingers" and then to negotiate some additional amount to be dropped in as it "looked a little short". Geez, I wonder if they still do that.
And I've been told of the horrible wailing and gnashing of teeth when a certain amount went to $40. Such indignation! The nerve.
Seems so long ago ... before the Internet ... before VHS, video games and cable tv.
To get places we walked backwards along the side of roads with one thumb pointed toward the sky ... a strange custom. I must have walked a couple hundred miles backwards in 1976.
Remember eating from these
Anybody remember these

... The cops were cool, if you got caught with beer you dumped it out. ...
Remember when they actually had music videos on MTV, and not all that "reality" crap they have on it now?
