    How about walking home with a VHS tape and nothing to hide it with. The “movie”: Debbie does Dallas.

      Timing your family leaving the house so you could watch a “movie” in the loungeroom.

      Kids today with their own portable devices in their bedrooms have no idea how risky it was for us.

        I believe this explains why a lot of us have developed tinitis. Experts point to headphones and loud music as the cause but I theorise that out of shear survival instinct we had to develop super sensitive hearing and the ability to separate the smooth sounds of a saxophone and moaning with the distant sound of a car door or car tires pulling into a gravel driveway

      I’ll never forget the days of watching the image load line by line to reveal tittie

      Ah the days when being on the Internet was a deliberate act rather than a passive one

    Only 612MB? That’s a waste of free 4.1GB in a nice DVD disk. Let me fill it up for you

        I was pointing DVD out because CDs had 512MB, which are less than 612MB, so that disk must be actually a DVD disk.

          Did you know that this information can be easily googled, and you don’t have to double down? A writable CD most typically contains between 650 and 700 MB of capacity.
