Very first television program I remember was this guy.



Though it was in reruns.

First "computer" I ever saw was some kind of Commodore. But it just sat and gathered dust because nobody figured out how to use it (I had no interest in it. It was just some odd thing sitting in my father's room).

There were no safety belts in the first cars I rode in.

The first TV we had got six channels. Richard Kimble is David Janssen not Harrison Ford, and damn we were excited to see if he was going to get caught in that last episode.

Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound, Jonny Quest (First run), The Venture Brothers.

I read the local paper from the newsstand and the New York Times online.

I watch TV live, using VCR video tapes, DVDs, a DVR, iTunes, Hulu and torrents; I didn't bother with laserdiscs. I'd love a Slingbox.

AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, Hotline, Usenet, eWorld, Napster, bit torrent.

Lots of transistor radios, no Walkmen, but an iPod.

Walter Cronkite, Connie Chung before she was Connie Chung, Anderson Cooper.

Chamberlain and Reed, Magic and Bird, Shaq and Kobie.

I remember seeing one of the original BSG movies in the theater with Surround Sound. Anyone remember that? I think they stripped some of the aluminum panels off an aging winnebago, glued some woofers to them and leaned them against the walls of the theater.

Oops, senior moment ;-)
I was trying to say "Sensurround."
Nobody remembers it?
Try this: Admiral "Phantom Third Channel"

I'm not even going to mention that I'm 18 going on 70 (oops, I just did).

In high school, we got the Commodore PET's, & I remember learning programming on punch cards.

My dad's right arm was my first safety belt.

I was the remote control for the TV. Wink And you were out of luck if the President came on. Big Grin
