I'm so old I Remember when:

[Ponypoor]

Eugene the 'Jeep' was introduced in (I think) 1938.

The Army introduced the 1/4 ton truck in 1941 made by Willis (MB) and Ford (GPW). It was turned into Jeep.

I used to have a '53 M-38 model that was a hoot.
I also had a 2003 extended cab 2-door (modeled after the 'ambulance jeep').

My niece will only drive a Jeep. I want her to get a truck but she on her second Jeep now.

If I ever win the lottery, I want one. Just for the fun of it.

Command prompt entry only. Then Xerox invented the window interface.

Command prompt - that is it. I had forgotten what it was called but remembered what it looked like.

And Nibbles, the snake game where you ate blocks and your snake got bigger and you tried to not hit the sides or yourself. Game got tough the longer your snake got

I liked that one.

I was at least 10 when we got our first computer. I grew up outside also. Hide and go seek in the dark was our favorite. Simply remembering the good times on the computer too

I was a working adult before I saw my first computer. That didn’t stop us playing the snake game at work.

I played with Lotus 123 for DOS as a game. Then Paradox. Then DBase. Finally came Excel and MS Access along with SQL Server. Now I've forgotten most of it.

I still think of Excel as Lotus 123!

It was knowing Access that landed me a good career job.

Who remembers the women folk making hand stitched quilts made from flour sacks?

At our church's Community Center, two of our ladies still make quilts to give away. Fabric is donated mostly. The quilts are simple patchwork squares tied in the middle with yarn. I started to say they are hand-stitched, but the give-aways are not. Until recently one of the ladies did hand-stitch quilts to sell. She gave us one for our wedding, it is hanging on our wall. She is beginning to suffer from dementia and no longer quilts, she is 89 years old. It's a sadness as this lovely art passes into history. ETA I'll post a pic later.

I loved Access. It worked like my brain worked.
Now I don’t have much use for it.
