I am so old we had flash cards in primary school to learn how to spell words.

I’m so old I remember when my manual car (“stick shift” in American) only had 4 gears.

I’m so old I remember having the choice of three TV channels.
(Pink Floyd’s 13 channels seemed a lot).

I’m so old I know what “Rabbit Ears” are for a TV.

DaveMaxwell · December 14, 2021, 1:03pm

Or how tin foil could help. Or the dance of the rabbit ears during bad weather…

My in-laws had one of the massive antennas attached to the house that they would go outside and adjust periodically…

I’m so old, I remember when “Booster” was just a character in a children’s TV series.

I’m old enough to remember when Windows wasn’t a real OS but a shell for MS-DOS.

I am so old, I wrote my first computer game on a CBM 2032 with 80x40 terminal display.

I’m … so… old… Wait, what was I saying? Oh, never mind, it probably wasn’t important…

I’m so old. A new year doesn’t count.

DaveMaxwell · January 3, 2022, 1:09pm

I do too…from reruns

Though I am old enough to remember when Shazam! wasn’t this character’s name

I’m so old I remember my son playing Command & Conquer via an acoustic modem with a friend in the next city! I was amazed at the power of programmers who could capitalise on available resources to produce a fast responsive animated game on an old black & white monitor!

Edit:

Written in MSDOS!

Pepster64 · January 6, 2022, 2:14am

I am so old that I thought Zork (the original) was a cool game.

rpg_digital · January 6, 2022, 2:04pm

I’m so old I remember measuring computers in the number of colours they had (8, 16, 128, 4096(Wow!))

benanamen · January 6, 2022, 7:35pm

I’m so old this was one of my toys.
