BIMD we had 3 channels and one of them was french. console T.V.'s with wooden cabinets were the rage, the channels were on a dial, there was no remote, and the youngest kid had to be the channel changer.
BIMD families sat for dinner, children were seen and not heard, after dinner the parents went into the living room and the kids did the dishes by hand.
bimd the first home pc's saved programs to tape cassettes, games took a good hour to load.
New games would come in gamer magazine, you had to write a compiler then enter in a endless stream of numbers.
Back in our day all kids did homework when you got home from school or right after dinner, you usually went outside to play until bed time.
BIMD calculators could add subtract, multiply and divide, they had a max of 9 digits, had the red led readouts and a tape roll.
Cars had carburetors pre set stations were reached with a manual button and tuner, cassettes were rare as 8 tracks were the rage.
Girls wore tight jeans that went up to their belly buttons, the concept of muffin tops hadn't been invented.
BIMD you could buy smokes at 7-11 no matter what you're age as long as you had a note from someone over 18.
BIMD comics were a quarter.
Teachers could paddle you, and classes were well behaved.
BIMD you could smoke on school property, at hockey games and in restaurants and bars.
