This is the big email going around our office today. Much of it is from before my time but I wonder if I get old-people points for remembering:
-My favorite Boston album on 8- track tape.
-Card Catalogs at the library.
-Gigantic tv antennas on top of everyone's roof, the owner of which risked his life to set up there, and had to risk his life (and it was usually a HIM) every time it needed to be re-adjusted.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?
My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he brought me an old
Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of
holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no
idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something.
I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to
"sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am
old.
