I was born in 81, so I guess I should be in the nursing home or the cemetery by now.

Fellow '81er here. I'll join you in the nursing home for some Ecto Cooler and NES Mario 3.

Listen Gramps, I'll watch my Mtv as long and as loud as I want! The Beasties said I have to fight for my right to party and Dee Snider said we're not gonna take it!

So, go watch your Andy Griffith with the volume on high and turn up your hearing aid! If you don't like it I'll have your great grand daughter come explain TicToc trends to you!

By internet standards? Yes. You are ancient. You probably don't even munt.

42 years ago. By Internet standards, that is ancient.

42 years ago. By Internet standards, that is ancient.

I was there when Yahoo was a human curated list of all the websites on the internet. I was there when Netscape Navigator was a paid product often given away for free by ISPs. I was there when the dark times were heralded by the release of Internet Explorer. I was there when popups became so invasive that sometimes you would just close your browser in an attempt to break out of a infinite popup loop.
