Too funny!

Ha!  He's gotta be trolling.  Or special.

Symbios, the post you make there about "Show and tell" in the attic, with the rotary phone and such, gave me a laugh. Even back in the 90's, younger people I knew weren't familiar with them.

No sense jumping on people about things, such as the SMS. Even I only knew of a few people who had it, much like how I only knew of a few people who had the TG-16 or Neo Geo or Colecovision... The same goes for the Lynx, I knew of 1 person with it. It was mostly Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis. Still, that's what most people know from 2600 era, 8-bit era, and 16-bit era.

Even with PC stuff, I have to watch what I am talking about. Years ago, some guy was bragging about his setup, and SLI video cards. I told him I could do that years ago with 3DFX's VooDoo 2 cards. He thought I was stupid, and asked if I knew what SLI was, and that if I didn't, it's a new thing, and I should look it up. I told him it's nothing new, it's called SLI because it's from when Nvidia bought out 3DFX, they got their properties, etc. So, he should look it up.

Or when I tried explaining to someone how it was to play DOOM, Blood, etc modem-to-modem.

One can't expect the young ones to know all this stuff some grew up with!

[Nazi NecroPhile]

I don't blame 'em for not knowing about it, I blame 'em for making stupid fucking posts instead of spending 30 seconds to googlerins fro comptints.

[CGQuarterly]

The games are boxed.  The boxes say "Sega Master System" on them.  It would have been faster for him to Google that than to create that retarded thread.

[BigusSchmuck]

Ask the google gods and you'll get what you are after. Well most of the time.

Ha!  He's gotta be trolling.  Or special.

That's what I was thinking. Obvious trolling attempt or he's never seen a master system.

I've seen the above videos before, a few of them, but I don't watch many of them as some of the kids act it up a bit much for the camera.

it also makes me feel a bit old, and also realize that technology is more disposable now than it was years ago.

I watched through a bit more of that, and some kids there "get it". Like when it's mentioned the walk man used to cost $200, and kids act astonished, 1 younger kid replies, "Well, an Ipad now is $700".

I don't know, I never acted that astounded by old technology when I was younger. However I grew up with all this stuff when it was kinda recent, or were recent hand-me-downs.

This reminds me, I actually heard something on the radio a month or two ago, about what callers feel the plural word for, "Vinyl" is. I always referred to the plural, the same as the word "deer". It's the same, also, "Vinyl". Well, it appears the people who takes what's old and make it new again, the teens and such now refer to them as, "Vinyls". yeah, an "S" at the end.

The only thing that I recall striking me as a bit astounding when I was younger, were the cars that had the pedal you pumped to put windshield washer fluid onto the windshield. I remember seeing that and saying/thinking, "Wow... Really?!?"

I'll have to rant about the plural of vinyl in that other thread.

BUT YOU SAID SOME OLD CARS HAD A FOOT PUMP FOR WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID.

I've always loved older technology...when my pops was still in the military I remember going to his office on base and seeing a bunch of old 60's-era computing stuff still in use (back in the 80's). Mainframes, micro computers, punch cards, all that shit. I used to love it. I think I still have one of his old college books on Assembly and Fortran still floating around.

I kind of miss the idea of working around limitations with respect to programming and running applications, and the fact that different hardware had different strengths/weaknesses. Now every AAA game looks freaking identical on every console.

I've never stopped buying records, so I take offense to the "vinyls" thing.  It is dumb, ignorant and lazy....

It's some new thing. I usually referred/refer  to them as records, LPs, etc. Someone in the comments in the link I am posting below has it right, that vinyl is the material. As in, "I have that album on vinyl".

I haven't encountered it much, and didn't know it was the new thing, anyway, here is an article about what I mentioned, from April 2014. It must have been because of this article or something that it was mentioned on the radio - http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/04/17/okay-fine-call-them-vinyls/

Yup, I love old technology. I had a bunch of old punch cards from my Dad's job, too (early 80's this stuff was still in his office, too. He used them as bookmarks).

My kids think a record player is just a big toy.

I had working 8-track in my car/home in early 90's, until they broke.

Just wanted to clarify....   I was trying to sound extra curmudgeonly.   I do love records and buy most new releases on vinyl. 

I don't care what the Hipsters call them, but vinyl is already plural.

I was never too big into records, but I read the word vinyl so much in that article that my eyes are doing that thing where I can't even tell if it's spelled right anymore.
