Ask Lemmy

Old enough to watch the moon landing, but too young to remember it.

My first modem was 2400 baud.

I was in middle school when I got an n64 for Christmas.

Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).

Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn't carry it yet. It was glorious every time.

i remember when the earth first formed, nobody was prepared for it to become the most OP planet in the universe.

Grew up using Vista

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

Much of my childhood was spent watching BAMZOOKi and Jungle Run on CBBC.

16ish

I still call them Opel Fruits

I got a 2400 baud modem and thought it was so cool that I didn’t need to use an acoustic coupler

I'm barely able to remember watching Star Wars in the summertime in the theatre.

I got one of the first home Pong machines for my 7th birthday

I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.

I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.

I remember the big floppy disks that were actually floppy. But the standard floppy disks were way more common and even they were on their way out

Elders scrolls v is the first game I played

Elvis and I were alive at the same time.

My first gaming console was N64 and I remember my parent's paid 700 USD for our 2 bedroom apartment in decent area.

I was using 5,25″ discs.

I still feel shy when buying beer
