I guess that I should feel privileged that you used one of your 513 posts in 8 months on me! I'd imagine that the other 512 were used trading recipes and comparing tampons on the girlie side of the forum.

Oh well, see you in another 8 months for your 1,000th post.

I don't need to read stuff like that to feel old. My father bought a Phillips cassette stereo for something like $500.00 back around 1970 and it was the peak of audio technology. I think that he was making about $15K a year back then, which was reasonably good money.

I've got more than 200 LPs. I'd be willing to wager that there are people on this board who don't even know what those are. Hell, I've even got a couple of old Elvis 78s hidden somewhere, unless my brother or sister ripped them off (my sister likely has, the thieving bitch).

Whats worse is that my cousin was bitching not long ago, saying 'the original Nintendo, did people even buy that garbage?'

Uhh, ya, 80+ million of them asshole. It was a cultural phenomenon that started a multibillion dollar industry.

Silly children. I know if I ever have kids, when they become know it all teens, im gonna want to knee them in the face repeatedly, sooooo bad.

In 1997 the Bose stereos came with CD and Cassette. I didn't want it but there wasn't another option without a cassette when I bought the car. BTW my "old" car has zero rust and the paint still shines like the day I bought it off the showroom floor. At this point I'm keeping the car around so that when my son starts driving in 3 years it will be his car.

Agreed, but pong (or Atari), didnt have the sudden impact on the gaming industry that the NES did.
