Quote:..having 4 tv channelsi remember getting our first colour tv, we got a special deal, it came with a 13" black and white tv. it was all modern and shit so it had 8 buttons, even though we still only had 4 total, unless you were super cool and had sattelite. i also remember going to buy our 1st vcr, i'm pretty sure it must've been spring of 84 cos my youngest sister was still in diapers (nappies) and my younger sister was coming up on a birthday, the first video we got was the care bears movie for her party. i never had a microwave until we moved to florida in 90, my parents just never thought it was necessary, but it came with the house.
..there was no up or down button on the tv for channels, just buttons for each number 1-6
it's kinda hard to relate to you guys cos i didn't live in america until then. but we had a kickass computer, back when they still used the cassette to load a program. it was called an amstrad, which i guess was the english equivalent to a mac because it wasn't compatible with the bbc's (ibms i assume) but it was all black, with just the shift, enter and f buttons and stuff in green and red. also in school, computer class consisted of plugging in coordinates to try and draw pictures, it was basically a graphing program. it's really quite amazing how far we've come...
