I feel so old

I just realized that most of my sports heroes are not only retired, but I keep reading their obituaries! Scary thoughts!!!

Certainly don't need to be in your 60s. I turned 30 recently, it's like a swtich went off in my head that stopped me liking modern music. I'm turning into my Dad!

bloody hell the same happened to me. My cousin;s son is in the last junior high school year. I realized that when i was talking about my basketball hero he did not even heard of him let alone see him play since he retired the year the kid was born. The who's that guy question ripped my heart apart.....

Well, you don't need to be in your 60s to feel old, I hadn't hit 30 yet when I got to feeling a bit old:

I was 28 and managing a shop in a local mall, we had a job opening to fill and the company had a very firm rule that we weren't to hire anyone under 18 years old. I was weeding through the applications and seeing birthdates from the early 80s and thinking "I can't hire them, they're just kids" Then the horror of the math hit me like a brick, at the time, folks born in 80 or 81 were hitting their 20s and I COULD hire them!

Footnote: that was just a few years ago, I just hit 31 last month.

The TNG isolinear memory chips look a lot like FLASH memory cards too.

You noticed that too Hoser?!?! I remember watching re-runs of old Star Trek in the early '90s and I had to wonder if those square things they were inserting in the computers was foresight in motion. They really look like 3.5 floppys in size and shape.

Hey Berny,

Don't show them your 8-tracks.
Has anyone noticed the original Star Trek discs look a lot like todays 3.5" floppys? Future deja vu or what?

Hey:
A lot of the toys I played with (and destroyed) as a kid are now available at premium prices at an antique store near you!

hey dont worry - same things will be said to them by their grand children in years to come ! when that happens they'll remember their old 'gramp' for sure.
