    The velocipede, the flux capacitor, and the clydepediter. Wite-Out. Carbon paper. The IBM Selectric. Subway tokens. 1.2MB floppy disks. Quadrophonic amplifiers. Earth Shoes. Mood rings. The Brownie camera. Film. Brass Ringer shoes. Sitting down at rock concerts.

      Seeing concerts without a sea of phone cameras obscuring the view.

      1.2MB? I remember 1.44 and 720k but I don’t think I remember 1.2MB.

      Nope, you’re right, 1.2MB thanks to wikipedia. Was the the 8" one? Predates me and my C64.

      So I ironic that so many kids these days know what the floppy icon does, yet they don’t know what it IS.

      Posts have never in human history had purpose or made sense. Even fence posts have always been useless. I mean, what is a fence but a wall for people who can’t commit? Sad.

    I remember when Natty Light cost $9.99 for a 24 pack. That's about all I remember. Oh, and I remember OJ Trial Collectable Pogs.

      Nicole looks awfully cheery for a woman who was practically decapitated. That said, I don’t remember the Pogs, but I thought they were pretty dumb in general so I might have just not noticed.

        There’s this line you cross, when your resentment for novel ephemera outpaces your sentimentality for dead ephemera, and then you are truly old.
