I'm so old I Remember when:

[LaurenRitz]

My first home computer was an IBM, monitors came with either amber or green text, and it had DUAL FLOPPY DRIVES! Woo-hoo! Silver Reed printer with the roll of paper that had sprockets on both sides to feed it through, then you tore away the strips of little holes from the finished printing. This was, I kid you not, 1984...

And the strips made great confetti.

I remember the old box computers! We had a Dell (if I remember aright) back in 2005. It intrigued me to no end. Sometimes my mom would let me use the word processor and I would write letters to characters from my books. Now everyone in the family has a laptop .

Ronco. They started in 1964 and coined "Set it and Forget it."

When I was young I always knew Christmas time was coming, when every other commercial was a Ronco product

IDK if anyone remembers this, but when I was little you could go to a gas station, (the one with the Pegasus on it) and they would give out little plastic toy animals.

That's Mobil.

I recall when gas stations gave out drinking glasses with every fill up.
