LOL..that's about the same time my Dad bought one, the Salesman at Sears told him Betamax was the future, VHS was going to die. $1000 beta machine. PPfffttt!! The nearest rental store was HH Greggs in Kokomo, 45 min away. Could rent 3 for a week, we thought it was amazing times. I wish a could remember the first movie we watched on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 25 year old granddaughter was amazed when I showed her a manual typewriter. Couldn't figure out how it worked. My wife bought me a smartwatch (Samsung Galaxy 4 Classic LTE) for Christmas this year...My youngest daughter (26) said, "So how do you like your first smartwatch?" I said, "Second. I had a Dick Tracy Wrist Radio in 1965." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 I was watching Jim Coyle interview Don Fischer on Youtube, and Fisch said in the first half, IU scored 39 points...and our guards accounted for 31 of those...Always love getting Don's take on a game... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would really be interesting to see would be your plus/minus should the mods ever add a 'dislike' button. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid I spent a lot of time at my Grandfather's house after my Grandmother passed away. I cut his grass and did chores for him. His TV was on for only a half hour ever day, for the nightly news. Other than that we read books and listened to his coo-coo clock going off every freaking fifteen minutes. Saturdays were a treat because the TV would be on for a whole hour - to watch Lawrence Welk. I kid not. Another treat was when we would share a cold 8 ounce Coke. So yeah, I'm a bit old school and I grew up reading books and still like to feel a paper in my hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter had to read 5 books before I let her have a cell phone... 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Time Machine, Animal Farm...I said I would buy the phone if she read War and Peace... from 11 -13 yrs old she finished all the books. I bought her a phone for her 13th. When her friends come over she gathers their electronics in a pillow case and puts in our bedroom with 150lb Akita. Kids don't get back until they leave. So we still old skool in our house... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
