Type ... writers?
A couple of years later I actually had an ELECTRIC one!!!
I still have those in a box around here somewhere. I loved Galaxy.
Some of us will argue that it still is.
Strange, that's how I understand Niorahs statement; they were already invented back then!
I'm still waiting for technology to surpass the LP...
I clearly remember our first DIAL telephone (Spring 6-1301), our first TV our first "HiFi" and our first room air conditioner. Our first "second car" was a 1937 Dodge.
I'm OLD!

I remember when having a telephone party line didn't mean you were a hot chick chatting with local singles for fifty cents a minute: it meant you shared a phone line with the asshole next door.
We had no money when I was growing up, so it was when the VHS tapes started coming out that I first saw a TOS episode in color. I was 18 or so, and on my own financially.
I remember being put off by the colors of the uniforms, because it didn't match my mental image.

My phone number was Mission 7-5623.
Still have the lobby card from our local NBC station of a new show Star Trek...we got the donation for our high school carnival fund raiser.
Was more in love with Nicholas Blair than Barnabas Collins from the original Dark Shadows. Or Quentin Collins.

I know how you feel... I'm the oldest out of all my cousins (I have 14 of them), and now a few of them are taller than me (not by more than an inch or two, however), about half are legally adults, and one is even married (and she's only 20)! My twin cousins just celebrated their 17th birthday... I can remember the day my aunt visited to tell us all she was expecting twins.
It makes me feel old... and I'm only 25. Okay, yeah, maybe I don't really belong in this thread -- so sue me.

The best of technology in music were LP's.
My grandmother is still convinced that LP's are making a comeback -- apparently she has this on good authority.
Me, I'm a tad dubious.

I'm 33 years old (December 23 1975). You know you're old, when you hear "snap", "crackle" and "pop" & you're not eating cereal. Daneel, your grandmother probably saw the same turn-table I saw at The Source a.k.a. Radio Shack, one that's designed to translate old, out-of-print Vinyl LP's to MP3's/MP4's and interface with your I-Pod.

What color had you imagined they were?
I remember when a bottle of Coca-Cola cost 5¢ and if you wanted it cold it was 8¢.

It's been almost 16 years since Clinton was elected. Was my first "major" election at age 19.
My first major election was Kerry in '04.
I remember my mother having separate washing and spinning machines to clean clothes. When the washer had finished you had to manually pull the clothes out of the hot water with wooden tongues and put them in the spinning part of the machine. Then you had to empty both machines manually with a hose. Clothes were dried on a wooden airer lifted up the kitchen ceiling on cords. No central heating, no radiators. No washer-dryers.
