I remember when the TV program list (for the one and only TV channel in Norway) had an "F" ("Farger" = "Colour") behind the program name to indicate that the program/show would be in colour.

I remember when I got my very first vinyl LP record. (Kiss - Dynasty)

I remember when my Dad got his first Mobile Telephone (OK, it was "movable", weighed 1,2 kgs ~3 lbs) and it cost $3.000,- *used*. Call charge was about a buck a minute.

I remember when 100 HP in a car was *M.A.S.S.I.V.E*

I remember 8-track and 45' Vinyl player for cars.

I remember the VW K70.

I remember "Skippy" and "Flipper" (And a good portion of pedagogically correct Norwegian childrens TV programs).

I remember radio tube radios for cars. Occupied the whole glove compartment (and you didn't need the heater to be on during winter ).

I remeber our first wireless landline telephone. It had a retractable antenna which was a full meter long when extracted.

OK, I feel old..
