You know you've gotten old when...  

Gee, where to start?

2 of my children were born after Commodore's demise. My favorite computer (c64 - 1982) was released almost exactly 1 decade before my first child was born.

Then there is the whole gray hair thing, the shoddy memory thing.


Let me cheer you up then.  Gray hair is better then NO hair. ;-)

Well my four boys were all born before Amiga was created! :(

...and when you forget that the correct amount mentioned in that quote is 640 KB (and BG apparently never even said stuff like that). :-)

April 29, 1994 I was 17.
You know you've gotten old when...
you don't have any more tomorrows to live for, so you have graduated, you had a good career, met a woman/man your married to and growing old with.
 
I have seen it all from the first C64's here in the Netherlands to the last Amiga 4000T here (wish I would have bought that one).

It's important to place in the thread that Commodore "officially" bit the dust in 1994.

You're the only person in the room who remembers what Hi-Torro was and enjoyed their
"board" product.

Bonus "you're old when"  You know the where "GURU meditation" came from

You remember flipping the switches on one of these:



When remembering it, I wish I had the hundreds of $$$ in 1975 to buy the  kit and play with one. Who knows, maybe I would have beaten Bill gates  in development.

I had a homebrew version of the Altair... I got so bored with flipping switches that I went out and and bought an Atari 800.  I sometimes wish I'd sprung the $666.66 to buy the Apple 1 when I had the chance...  I heard one sold on ebay for $30,000
