On his blog “Huikau?” my friend Mike wrote a post entitled “You know you’re getting old when” and he got me started. If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, I believe he will forgive me for blatantly stealing his topic and running with it myself for a bit.

So, You know you’re old when:

  • You know what Daisywheel and NLQ printers were
  • You remember Kaypro
  • You ever worked on a “Trash 80″
  • You remember the IBM PC Jr and those chiclet keys
  • You ever owned a copy of Turbo Prolog
  • You remember your first 14.4 modem and thought it was blazingly fast
  • You bought a hardcard once
  • You ever cut notches in your 5-1/4″diskettes so you could use both sides

    notching the disks man… hilarious, I used to actually have a card puncher to create the nice square cuts instead of the “V” cut with scissors!!! :)

    14.4??? 900 baud modem was blazing!
