This was also a real gem:

My very own portable cassette player and radio!

I had this thing for years and years until the Discman came out. I actually preferred the Walkman. The Discman would skip too much if you were out walking/jogging.

Discman also used up batteries like a sonofa*****. Walkman, FTMFW.

My dad was all vinyl records and 8 track tapes.

He didn't have the 8 tracks for some reason but we still have tons of vinyl records...

We had old school kids-styled record players when we were little kids, as well:

Not Smurfs, but something similar.

[lcummins]

... we had to change the channels by hand

... my first video game was Pong!

... you missed it on TV... too bad, there was no home recording!

... I remember having to choose between mono and stereo on some vinyl LPs!

... rotary dial telephone... with a party line!

... barber shops!

I could go on, but I think I've aged myself enough for now.

Ah, the picture-taking days...

Ah, the picture-taking days...

My parents had one of those.

I know this is weird but every time I see a old logo like this, I'm taking back into time.
