Then I must be old. Lol.
Same here. Newest thing at the time was DOS 4.1 (I think). Computer mouse not a thing yet (in South Africa at least). Yeah, I'm old....lol
I'm even older... we didn't even have plastic when I was born let alone computers. And for the record, my first PC was an NCR DMV running DOS 1.0 but that was many many many years after I was born!
Actually, that was a lie... the NCR DMV ran an operating system called CPM before DOS 1.0 was released!
Lol @Rob Fisher dos on an IBM with a black and green screen in 1985 was my first taste of computers
Remember the glass milk bottles, @Rob Fisher - left at one's doorstep every morning. lol today they'd be stolen within a second - IF one has a house where anyone can just walk up to the front door. which nowadays is unlikely.
@Hooked I remember them well... they also used to deliver bread and orange juice at the same time. And you had to open the bottle by placing your elbow into the tin foil cap... and then there was that lovely plug of cream on the top!
I remember those too - milk and orange juices. We even had tokens to drop in the bottles to indicate how many bottles we needed and exchanged them.
Apparently some parts of the UK, specially the rural areas still do this. In 1997, milk was delivered to my aunt's doorstep every few days with a block of real farm butter in Ludham, Norfolk
my sister might still have one of the Nigel dairies bottles from back in the eighties.
Oh yes, the tokens! Forgot about them. I think they were green?
Bunch of old farts.
My mom only got guava/orange juice once a week with the milk order IF i behaved
So my guess is that you hardly ever drank guava/orange juice !
Ours were different colours - two for fruit juices and silver or gold for the milk.
Mine is doing garden duty,
