Man Gawain, I bet when they started having actual sound in movies it really scared the shit out of you!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Well Im not that old but color TV sure was neat when it came along Believe it or not theyd nake a big deal about if a show was in color. A big announcment before the show. This show is beingbrough to you in living color. Never mind surround sound or HD. You were lucky you got 5 channels. Strange though seemed likethere were a lot more things to watch.

I think the coolest thing I saw was when my family got our first microwave. That was awesome. I also remember when MTV first came on. "Video Killed the Radeo Star"!!! Remember that all you late and 30 yr olds? Gawain, just to let you know, I consider you a very blessed man to have had your childhood when you did. You have seen so many amazing changes within our country and our world. I know that every generation has some cool #### happen in it, but i can't help but dream about living in the 50's and early 60's.
