I remember not being able to explaine what the Turbo button did, (and I still don't).

Edit:
and along with that both a reset and on off buttons I could hit with my knee.

I remember when TRS-80 (Trash 80's) were the stand by which all other PC manufactures measured quality.

(Oh its been a while so if I make mistakes, forgive me.)

10 CLS
20 PRINT "Hello"
30 PRINT "Enter PW"
40 INPUT = A
50 IF A = "Password" Then 60 ELSE 55
55 PRINT "Wrong Dumb ***"
56 GOTO 30
60 PRINT "Wussup"
65 END

I remember when living in the Country meant that it took you 10 minutes on your Motor Bike to pop by your friend who lived next door and you saw wild life every time you looked out the window.

Now days, when you look out your window all you see are Bulldozers making roads for more houses and the only wild-life you see is lying on the side of the road.

I remember the slower pace of life. When being a kid was to be free to do all kinds of cool things.

In the Last 15 years the area I live in has expanded to cover every free square inch of land that is availible. I mean every tree has been cut down, and all open fields are now commercial or residential buildings.

Jobs, well they are non-exsistant here, yet people keep moving in. Almost a million in the Last 3 years now. And to think, 15 years ago we didn't even have sidewalks.
