    Seeing the Beatles on Ed Sulivan for the first time.

    And 'I Should Have Known Better' is still one of my favourite Beatle songs because of it.

    Paying $6.00 to see Led Zeppelin.

    I can remember my first computer class, and how excited we all were when the punchcards were run on the mainframe.

    Of course, that was before 5 1/4 floppies.

    I am older than the microwave and the VCR.

    I know what a VCR is. I remember when you could rent them from Blockbuster.
