Well, I in the 90s I was in my early teens and I didn't have my own money to buy games, so "warm and friendly help in store" is something I've never experienced.
And kids today are worse - I work as a teacher at elementary school and what those spoilt brats are capable of I just don't get sometimes. Everybody thinks the world revolves around them even though most of them are absolutely pathetic - they can't do anything, they don't know anything and are happy that way - e.g. 95 percent of boys play games full time (I just overheard one: "I can't go out, I MUST play..."), they have totally pimped computers their parents bought them, but they can't even send an email - all they do is just click the GTAIV icon (pirated, of course, which their more knowledgable friend got them)....... I better stop....
@ hardlink: not exactly, Czechoslovakia existed only till 1993 and the commies were already long gone then (Velvet revolution in 1989). Sure, computers were expensive here back then but obtainable - fortunately my father has always been a computer enthusiast, he had Sharp MZ 821 in 1984 (it cost him 3 months' salary...) and some other 8bits later (unfortunately, while my father bought a 386 PC in 1992, I didn't get my hands on an Amiga for the first until in 1996). Btw, some of the communist cloned computers weren't half bad. But I guess you weren't serious
