One point. I never used an 8” floppy.

[NorthMountain]

The kiddies who wrote this left out the 5 1/4 inch floppy, and they have no idea what “double sided” or “double density” mean.

[Jim W N]

I got 2 points. Never used or owned a Walkman or a Boombox!

Same with me.

[A_perfect_lady]

Go Gen X!!

[MulberryDraw]

How about listened to a 78 rpm vinyl record?

[EasySt]

Dad’s 90, zero points, due to having been around since before any of that stuff. (Zero points for me as well, at 70.)

[Gay State Conservative]

Actually my *parents* owned a set of Encyclopedia Britannica's...but I never did.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

I used both an 8” and 10” Floppy, plus I programmed using punch cards and key punch machine.

[Publius]

Yeppers. Done ‘em all. Still doing #5 and #20.

[Magnum44]

How about a 78rpm glass record?

[Political Junkie Too]

Zero points for me.

Anyone remember the AAA TripTik, with bound foldout maps and the highlighted route marked on the map with little arrow stickers to show you were to turn?

“retiring in 3 weeks”

Awesome!! Congratulations! You made it to the finish line. Got any plans worked out yet?

[A_perfect_lady]

Oh wait, you didn’t say BORN in 66... (d’oy!!)

[alancarp]

1 point... and that only because I thought using a boom box outdoors was just kinda rude.

[dfwgator]

Yep, I’m old.

[ratzoe]

Zero

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“wrote a check last week.”

We still have two or three service providers that only accept cash and checks!

We owned some cheap no-name encyclopedia that I think came like a Book of the Month Club package. We sure never owned the Britannica!

[Magnum44]

Who remembers this? (And not from the MIB movie!)
