You know you are old when... - Page 5

[~s.o.s~]

...you played games which had no *save*. Dying typically meant more than a hour of repetitive grind. :)

[oldgamesware]

I feel old because I appreciate more the classic songs than I did before. LoL

[woooee]

Has anyone mentioned the classics? Your friends are stating to look old, but not you. And

"May I help you __Sir__"

The kids behind the counter at the burger place give you the senior discount, without your asking for it.

I am never getting that old. Never.

[oldgamesware]

I don't know with that part. Wives are like that when they grow a lil older? LoL

[Lardmeister]

I am never getting that old. Never.

I am not an expert on this subject, but I always thought that it takes two or more for real sex. You might be the only willing person in this scenario.

You had a Dial Phone? Trying to put operators out of work?

You remember when you picked up the phone and said "Sally, connect me to my dad at the bank please" -- party lines, saying goodnight to your girlfriend and 5 people hang up before you do.

[GrimJack]

if you remember when 'tea baggers' proudly named themselves tea-baggers

[kendenny]

You remember getting up from the couch and turning a knob to change the TV Channel.

Or you remember never changing the channel because there was only one channel in your town.

Morning Glory is a fading memory.

[devLady]

[bigbadbear]

[THEUPMAN]

You know what it means to 'shoot your cuffs'

Everybody knows that you shoot your cuffs before you slick your jelly roll.

hmmmm .... that does sound a little odd when you say it.

[tiger86]

You know you are old when you remember when CD stores existed.

[dvdreplication]

When you feel you can not do something.

[Ozzzo]

If music is too loud - you are old, man.

[vegaseat]

If it doesn't bother you that music is too loud, because your hearing aids are turned off - you are old, man.

[Biker920]

you have an 8 track player made by Lear(yes the aircraft co) because they were the only manufacture of 8 track players at the time. Later---

[woooee]

You can answer the question "What's a floppy disk".

[Biker920]

you know that are two sizes of floppies

[jonsca]

you know that are two sizes of floppies

There were 8" floppies too! (In all fairness I don't really remember them) I think the 5 1/4" were double sided by the era of the souped-up Apple IIe (but you still had to flip em).

[almostbob]

I still have a punch, to cut the second read/write notch when flippling 5 1/4 inch floppies in an appleIIe

Damn, I am old

Time to do some cleaning dude. Actually the 8 inch and 5 1/4 were called floppies. The 3.5 inch version was sometimes a floppy and sometimes not. I think Apple wanted to distance its hard case floppy from the others and emphasize the perceived superiority of their product so tried to create a separate product group for it. Today it would be the iFloppy. There were also 3 inch and at least one in the 2 inch category which were attempts to lock in people to one specific vendor. Today you'll have to contact almostbob to find one.

[Biker920]

don't know what apple wanted but I never heard or read of the 3.5 being any thing but a 3.5 floppy to be read by a floppy drive,I never ran into 8 inch floppies guess at that time I was busy playing race car driver. Later---

[GrimJack]
