TV/Movies
I remember seeing Jedi in theatres. I was too young for Star Wars, or Empire though.
I remember running home from school to catch Transformers.
I remember when having 12 channels (one of which was french) was "lots" (according to my mom)
Smoking
I remember when you could send your kid to the store with money and a note to get cigarettes.
I remember when the Subway had a smoking section (I remembered this today when getting a sub after seeing this thread).
Toys and Entertainment
I remember when I got a Coleecovision and it was the coolest thing ever.
I also remember playing Donkey Kong for hours on said Coleecovision.
I remember that my first computer didn't have enough memory to actually have DOS on it.
I remember my first Transformer was Ratchet.
I remember getting the Megatron that looked just like a real gun.
Misc
I remember when the walk to school seemed like it was really far (it took about a half an hour) and anything beyond that was incomprehensible.
I saw someone mentioned about where they were when John Lennon died...
I remember where I was when I heard Kurt died.
I was in the car with my mom, in fact I can even still point out exactly the stretch of road we were driving along.
