  1. Nuts... Gen. MacAuliffe
  2. Chemistry sets would come with a lawyer these days. No safety glasses or anything and plenty of pyro enabled chemicals....
  3. Yes until end of year. It's not as easy as it could be since supply is constrained. You have to "reserve" a battery and then get it replaced.
  4. Why? Isn't it under the 29 buck recall?
  5. They do make a mop version or at least they used to. Had it for almost ten years - Look for Scooba
  6. Any map application on the phone or standalone. Youngsters have no idea how to use a paper map which might be good. In college I had to find an airport in Iowa by stopping every few minutes to see which direction planes were going....
  7. Did it multiple times to Australia after IBM eliminated business class. Luckliy I'm not 6-4 or something. Only flew the direct Sydney/DFW once - much easier to go thru LA after 12 hours.
  8. Exactly... Imagine how some of them felt when they could drink at 18 and then the age was raised to 21. I don't remember any grandfather clauses

    Checking in

    well at least you got it. I had to sign onto gmail for the first time is a couple of years to get the note. If you have your own domain than the registration process seems to ignore it
  10. Changing the oil in the car and the new oil came in cardboard cans that you needed to stab a spout into. Never got a spout that didn't leak oil on the engine
  11. Way to late but Hooligans by John Diehl. He wrote Sharkeys Machine and I always thought Burt Reynolds would be perfect for the main character in Hooligans but that was 25 years ago.
  12. My old Vanishing Point one from the other site did not work well in a circle so I grabbed on of our favorite artists creations - Davis catching the missed field goal and the start of the greatest play in college football - my opinion and I know that the Rose Bowl TD also would be at the top on a lot of people's list. Also changed my name from AUinAustin since I moved back home after retiring from IBM.
  13. Watching for the NBC peacock to tell us the next show was in "living color"
  14. Going to the car dealer and ordering your car just the way you wanted. Something like a 1970 Cuda in Lemon Twist Yellow with black bucket seats, brown carpet, power windows, 318 engine with auto transmission, drum brakes and the flower power vinyl top. Friend had one like this. Today you get one or two option packages - back then you got the ability to make a one off all the time
  15. PF Flyers Rat Fink rings Bazooka bubble gum for a penny Baseball cards in bike spokes Chasing the mosquito fogger truck - no idea why no adult didn't stop this. Nothing like a dozen kids on bikes riding in a cloud of insecticide Sneaking transistor radio into school to listen to World Series World Series games starting around noon on weekdays Running your computer program with punched cards
