Apologies for going OT.
When I started college (Ohio State), the ONLY TV set was in the first floor lounge; you were lucky to have a radio (small portable) in your room; the telephone was on the wall in the hall; and the only computer in existence occupied an entire floor in some building somewhere, and couldn't do a fraction of what your laptops do today.
By the end of my college career (Kent State) we did have a 13 inch portable black and white TV in the room (on which we religiously watched Laugh In); The phone was still in the hall; and that computer was still taking up an entire floor, although it could probably do a few more things than when I started college.
And we DID walk to classes; in the snow; uphill; BOTH WAYS! (credit to Bill Cosby
)
Actually, at Kent State, I lived off campus and did have a pretty healthy, hilly, 20 minute (or more) walk to classes. I remember one winter walking to class with my breath condensing on my mustache. By the time I got to class my mustache was a solid block of ice.
