I'm so old I Remember when:

I got a Light Bright as a kid. It was cool, but you could only use a piece of paper once (for the background) because after that it would have holes in it.
That was the downside...I was just going to post about that. My mom didn't buy the replacement sheets so then I just had to use my imagination....and I wasn't artistically creative on my own...needed to know which colors to use and where to use them...LOL
 
Our cousins had all the cool toys. Lincoln Logs, Lite Brite, Etch A Sketch, Tinker Toys Erector Set. We quickly got bored with it when we visited them. We had bicycles and bricks and scraps of lumber and partial sheets of plywood Dad would bring home from his construction jobs. We had a blast with that stuff and never felt shortchanged. Later we got a ping pong table, THAT was way cool!

When I was little my Uncle renovated his house and was cutting about a foot off a bunch of 2X4's. My Dad brought them home and honestly, I had as much fun building things with those as my Lincoln Logs.

My nephew got a bunch of scrap lumber like that for Christmas once( he was young and thought he was Bob The Builder) but he said it was a life sized Jenga set! All the cousins had a blast with them
 
Here's one for ya, my first home computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80, that you used a cassette tape to load up programs.
My first computer was more advanced (slightly). I got a Commodore 64 for my elect. contracting business. When I got home I would turn it on and after it warmed up, the screen said "PRESS PLAY ON TAPE". I was more advanced and had a hard drive to boot up.
Now wait. Go to the bathroom, make a sandwich, read a magazine article. Okay, were booted up. All to use a word processor.
The "internet" was called a "Billboard" and WAY too complicated for me.

I always wanted the "portable" version. The 80's laptop.
