    I woke up this morning to the song "Superstition " by Stevie Wonder and wanted to go play at the school playground.....I was eight when it was #1 in 1972!

    I remember walking to the Saturday matinee at the move theater paying my 35 cents to get in, a nickle for a bag of popcorn and 2 cents for a winner sucker.

    Remember when penny candy was a penny?

    Last week I ran across a Hayes 1200 baud modem in the box of old computer stuff . . . .

    Senior year in high school Radio Shack came out with their first four function calculator: $119

    In a related note: I took high school physics using a slide rule.

    I remember watching Tom Terrific cartoons on Captain Kangaroo.

    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.
