Not a thing wrong with that. In 20 years you will be reminiscing about the beginning of the internet an the home PC.

I love Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes but never could figure out why they would not bring them back for Saturdays toons!

Those are totally still around. I love Breyers (most were my mom's but Walmart and toy shops have them still) and Mad is sold at our supermarket Hannaford.

I remember going to the gas station and it was FULL service! They checked your oil, washed your windows, and anything else you asked! It was also "leaded" or "unleaded". None of this super or supreme stuff! OMG, I'm really showing my age...

I remember our washing machine that was an open tub, with a pair of rollers on top to feed the clothes through and squeeze out the water. You used an old broom handle to feed the clothes through, as a safety measure.

Of course, then they were hung up to dry and in the middle of winter, they hung in the basement. I really love clothes dryers...

Also, home hair dryers that were a bonnet you put over your head, with a hose hanging out the back. It connected to the base which blew the heated air, that you plugged into an electrical outlet.

Not only do I remember 45s and the little thing you put in the center of the record, I remember 78s.
