    23 here... also had a B&W TV.

    Yeah, Betamax... I remember indeed. Crappy, that was. I also remember back in the days when CDs were marginal...

    I see that the small minority of wankers has imprinted that into your brain Harbs. Then again, I probably would rebel a bit more if I wasn't so lazy. And the fact that I now have my licence probably doesnt help that fact either seeing as I can hurl an egg and drive off faster than I could on the run. :D :holy: :holy: :holy:

    I'm 22, so I've moved up a group. I must say though , I've never seen a black and white TV!
    My younger days were filled with He-Man and Thunderbirds. But then I turned 22 and mummy said I had to put the videos away. Hey, can you remember them? VHS videos! They were huge. I saw one of those the other day, Idropped it on my foot and broke 3 of my toes. Huge things they were.

    Thirty-Seven!!! Shocking, just shocking! Although I can't complain - I never thought I'd see 30 when "The Day After" aired in 1983!!!

    I've joined the 30 plus group and we did use to have a black & white TV in the house. (It was the "third" TV, and located in the understairs cupboard with the two betamax video recorders and stereo system which distibuted sound and vision to the rest of the house)

    From memory, all of the TV's had a wood finish. Now there's a retro look that hasn't returned yet. Could be a good marketing gimic for monitors as well.

    First computer was the spectrum 48k rubber keys, although Dad brought home a BBC workstation from the college.

    Heh, our TV can only select 4 different channels. None of this Sky or channel 5 for us.

    Nowadays, TV is all about 6 numbers: 4 8 15 16 23 42. All in color, though.
