^$4.99?!? That is pathetic.

When I was writing my resume for my PMP certification my first IT project was upgrading from a PDP-11 with RS-232 VT 52/100 terminals to a Vax with DECnet. |

When test papers were mimeographed and filled out with pen and ink from the ink well.
I could never get a handle on why my dad's razer was called a safety razer. When I first had to shave I immediately bought something far less dangerous that didn't require as many band aids. |

- You think of Bob Denver as Maynard G. Krebs rather than Gilligan.
- You think of type size as pica or elite. - You knew that if a package had to be there tomorrow, you'd have to take it there yourself. - 3D meant ViewMaster. |

If I misunderstood electronic payment: I am getting too old not to know the difference between electronic bill payment and automatic deduction from bank account. |

Maybe that's not about *you* getting old.

You know you're getting old when...
...you remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. On a black and white t.v. ...you remember when men didn't go outside bare-headed. And they didn't wear ball caps either, unless they were ball players! Last edited by orange!; 01-04-2012 at 09:00 PM. |

You know you're getting old when you apply for a birth certificate to find out it is a cave painting.

I remember the foot machine from when I was at high school. When I've told people about it they don't believe me.

- You remember when a new car cost $2,999.
- You hear the name "Bill Bixby" and think of "My Favorite Martian" rather than "The Incredible Hulk." - You remember when the evening news came from Huntley & Brinkley. - You first saw Morgan Freeman as "Easy Reader" on "The Electric Company." - You remember when AM radio played mostly music. - When someone mentions The Bee Gees and you think of pop instead of disco. |
