I'm so old I Remember when:

There are adapters so you can hook up modern TV to those old TVs.

Yep sure do have those for my grandma’s old huge TV. This old TV of mine is smaller than my laptop - I already have a huge TV.

Oh and FYI, if you think your 2yr old TV is going bad with being blurry, get you eyes checked and get distance glasses. Saved myself from buying a brand new TV, put those suckers an and voila! Perfect picture hahahaha!
 
I am so old I remember when we only had one TV channel. And a black and white TV 👍😉

FYI I still have my old colour TV for my bedroom as a teen. It’s a boat anchor but it still works! Not that there are any channels to watch now, signals are all digital these days!
We had the first color TV in the neighborhood. I remember all the kids from the entire neighborhood (LOTS!) piled into my "family room" (anyone else remember those?) to watch our first-ever color TV show ... Gilligan's Island!
Hey, there's another one! "I remember when" Gilligan's Island wasn't all reruns!

How many inches is grandma's old huge TV?

I have one of Ye Old CRT Monitors somewhere and I have laptops that have bigger screens. Some of my laptops have smaller screens and fit more content.

It’s big! I can’t lift it 😆 likley one of the last CRT TVs ever sold. Bought it at Sears, I worked there and received a hefty 25% discount on merchandise I bought.

I remember when Sears was the Amazon of the day - catalogues were sent out all the time. Makes me mad that Sears didn’t jump all over the internet sales, they were too slow to realize the value of the internet.

And also today’s business model that Amazon has with their ‘throw away’ merch didn’t fit with the quality brand that Sears modelled.

No one wants quality anymore, they want cheap and throwaway.

I hate throw away stuff.

I bought what was supposed to be a nice laptop used. ThinkPad, at that. SD card slot broke right before a trip. I ended up having to put tape on the end of the card to be able to pull it out of the slot.
 
piled into my "family room" (anyone else remember those?)
You know, I’ve been in at least fifty houses and haven’t seen a single one with a family room other than my grandparents’ house which they built themselves in the 80’s. And maybe one or two other old houses. I wonder when they went out of style.

My parent's house has a family room. It's just a normal room. They have a split level and the kitchen, dining room, living room, and a spare room are the first level. Upstairs are more bedrooms and downstairs is the family room. It's not one those rooms that are set down a step, like this...

What’s the difference between a family room and a living room? I thought they were the same and then for visitors there was the front parlor (in an old house).
