  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Attention Signs you're getting old.

I use faxes sometimes when it's either fax or mail. I have the luxury, however, of free fax service at my local library, which a cheapskate like me infinitely prefers over buying (shudder) a stamp. :lol: Plus I get confirmatiion page that the fax went through, so I have a paper trail to use if I ever get some crap about "we never got___ like were were supposed to."
 
Then, I remember sending a fax one time when I still lived where there was a landline. I had a computer that could send a fax, and I was curious to try it. Interestingly, this was about 15 years ago--and the computer was far, far older. And yet, despite being obsolete in computer terms, it was still up to date enough to do a fax.

1. My grandpas', at their home and at the village public phone in the summer... almost forgot that.
2. Check
3. Check... barely, but check... mostly the electronic one, though, and it was already prehistoric in the mid 1990s.
4. Not handy enough: my experience does not go back past digital and phone.
5. Yep... used to be one of my treasures... actually, I still keep it, though not as a treasure anymore... along with the mp and flac versions of it.
6. Vomit: pretty much like with the cameras... and no need for them either, especially when my elder brother did them for me to enjoy.
7. Not a proper walkman... some sort of it... then the discman, which I would play way more often.
8. Boy we did. Check.
9. Pfft. What for.
10. Vomit. No, that was my brother. Blockbuster, or Boomvideo, videoboom or whatever they called them.
11. I was created on the sixth day.
12. What?.. Oh, a "radio-cassette". I would play this on and on and on and on and on and on andon and on and on:


Is that what made me gay... or was it the other way round...

13. Again, not handy or in need... I think that not even during my fleeting shooting experience at the army... but I may have had to send a couple and not quite recall it.
14. Browsed. Occasionally. Rarely. Very. A prospective Eastern Europe beefy ho had materila there... never got to meet him: could not make up my mind about him. What an ass!! he had and I was.
15. Oh did I.
16. I used to regret not having a proper one. Finally did... by the time I could made digital copies of it... and download even more.
17. Owned one. As a gift for my First Communion.
18. Check. Especially during Christmas to schoolmates. It had become so mainstream and fashionable even I ended up sending them. Naturally, mine were the most tasteful ones :rotflmao: :mrgreen:
19. Check. A few
20. Yep.
21. Nope. But for years I would claim I used a cell phone only as a pager. First one bought in China in late 2003.
22. Nops.
23. What car.
24. No: again, too fancy for me. If necesary, someone else would have played the damn thing for me.
25. Pft. Of course. Just like you use Whatsapp which Helps Keeping America Great.
 
So, all in all, barely a dozen... knew about all of them but, actually experienced in daily use?

I had a lot of old crap like that when I was a kid.

Retrieved from attics, basements, garages and thrift shops, and taken to my room to be properly dismantled to see what I could make with the parts. Little electric motors were prized. Shocking? Sure, once in a while.
 
I had a couple of open reel tape decks when I was a teenager, but they were both bought used and were old. Both were probably pretty low end when new--they were self contained tape recorders with speakers. One was almost certainly intended for voice use (e.g., dictation).

I remember fantasizing about a new open reel tape deck. The open reel idea seemed neat somehow, but there were also arguments that they were far superior to cassette.

Even today, I sometimes think it would be fun to play with open reel, but it's not terribly practical.

I got my last completely new audio system in the 90s. At the time, I just got enough to get started, and had various visions of what next. I can't remember even thinking open reel. Not that it wouldn't have been fun, but there were too many other things that were far more practical, like a cassette deck (I'd lost interest in cassettle, but it still had some practical usefullness. But it wasn't likely to be anything I'd really invest in. As it turned out, it was a few years before I got that tape deck. I got it at Goodwill, and the major reason for bothering was it was cheap enough to paly with, and it would work for making tapes for a car radio.)
 
I have a Tandburg 6000X tape deck and a Gerrard SL95B turntable with a Marantz receiver.
