gas was $0.35 a gallon (that's Imperial Gallons...the BIG ones) ANNND...you got free dishes or towels with your fillup.

What do you remember from years ago, that indicates how old you are?

I was a wee lad visiting relatives in England in 1970 and remember there was a buzz going around the city about the Beatles breaking up.

My first computer had 3.5k of RAM.

My current one has more than 1 million times that.

I can remember quiting work and going out and buying a brand new 1969 Z28, all on the same day.

I can remember seeing Elvis for the first time on Ed Sullivan
Ditto for the Beatles

I can remember when "Deck The Halls" didn't make me smile.

I can remember TV going off the air at suppertime and re-appearing later in the evening (England in the early 50's)

I can remember when I loved GM products

I can remember when TV Guide used "(c)" to denote tv programs broadcast in colour.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I remember Cindy Crawford being the top model. I remember 25 cent postage stamps and payphone calls. I remember the Commodore 64 and then moving to a 286. The original Nintendo Entertainment System was a godsend. I remember making mix tapes because there were no other viable options. I remember Seinfeld not being strictly reruns. I remember anime being a lot harder to get ahold of. I remember lawn darts not being banned.
