I remember E Tickets at Disneyland. This was before e-tickets....

I remember the price of comics going up from 35 cents to 50 cents.

I remember only 3 TV networks, and no cable. And if you missed your program, it was gone forever.

I remember playing Pong...and being enthralled.

I remember when, if you weren't home, you were unreachable by telephone, and there was no way to know who had called while you were out.

I remember seeing people feeding punch cards into large computers.

I remember seeing my first personal computer-- an Apple II+-- and thinking, "that is the coolest thing ever."

I remember black Michael Jackson being the age that white Michael Jackson finds attractive.

I remember hearing that John Lennon had been shot.

I remember fishing my sandwich out of a Star Wars lunch box.

I remember really, really liking "Wonder Woman," but only beginning to realize that it was for different reasons than the other shows I liked....

I remember when someone who had good skills with a turntable was the guy who never scratched a record.

I remember getting $5 to go to the movies: including candy bar, soda pop, bus fare there and back.

I remember working the mimeograph machine in the school office.

I remember writing things on carbon paper.

I remember when dangerous kids were the ones who might hit you with their fists....

I remember worrying about the Russians and The Bomb.

I remember thinking that Gabe Kaplan was funny.

I remember thinking that bellbottoms were cool.
