desks still had special holders for inkwells.

I'm old enough that schools were able to spank kids.
I remember that.
The principal had a paddle.
And if he had holes drilled in it, this meant serious business....so the legend went.
I'm so old that I remember the milkman delivering milk.
Houses even had special little doors for him to put the
milk inside without anyone being home.

We had milk deliveries. It was just too expensive though; mom felt bad putting him out of business so to speak. I think the smaller villages still have them here, though. We also had the 'pop man' who delivers soda.
Dang...I remember those too. We had a really weird teacher who made the ink in a teapot and poured it into the inkwells like it was a cup of tea.....I must old too....
He also delivered cans of New Era potato chips.
Decades later I saw one of those cans in an antique shop.
Oh no! Not the milkman.....
And luke warm milk delivered to school and left out in the sun that we had to drink at recess....
yuk!

I am so old that when I was young, I thought that Playstation 1 graphics was brilliant. In my memory the graphics of Tekken 2 are amazing but when I see the game now the graphics are appalling and my mind cannot reconcile the two.
My daughter is so old.....
That when she was young, I made her a toy telephone that was a flip phone.
I used to have pretend conversations with a tenant who was stuck in the toilet.

I am so old that when I hear that a 20 year old was born in the year 2000 I struggle to comprehend it.
You think that's bad?I am so old that when I was young, I thought that Playstation 1 graphics was brilliant. In my memory the graphics of Tekken 2 are amazing but when I see the game now the graphics are appalling and my mind cannot reconcile the two.
In graduate school, I remember Pong coming out.
It was briefly fun.
I'm so old that I played *original* D&D---no computers.

I'm so old, I remember the term "warming your butt" that was used when you had to read a person's meaningless message, and it was used because it took 5 minutes on a 14K modem to display the page for said meaningless message. In that time, you had been sitting for a long time.
I'm so old that I remember using punched paper tape to program by teletype.
Later, at UofM, I marveled at the advancement to IBM cards.
I'm so old that when I hear a 40 year old was born in 1980, I struggle to believe it.

I am so old that I remember a time when holograms and touch screens were merely Science Fiction.
