WOW!!!!!! That was a blast from the past. Yeah I feel old, and I was only 12 when that all happened (1982).

A few more:

Never saw Parkey fool Mother Nature.

Never used a computer without a hard drive.

Don't remember when a BigMac was actually big.

Can't imagine buying a brand new, factory delivered car/truck/van for under $8,000.

Can't imagine buying gas for that car/truck/van for under $.80 per gallon.
