I remember my great uncle (when I was a little kid) used some sort of plastic covering to put color on his black/white tv. Does anybody remember what those were called?
This was early 70's.

Ahhh, I found a picture of one!

Sure do, plus they used to give you glasses, or plates or all kinds of other things for free - just for your business! Wow, have times changed.

Home phones were out the other day and I got out the old rotary phone. (Yes we have cell phones, but the phone company makes you check the lines anyway) My 12 year old daughter asked what it was, I told her it was a phone from when I was her age. She wanted to call someone on it, and didn't get how to use it. I told her she had to put her finger in the hole by the number and turn it to the metal stopper.

She put her THUMB in, and I asked why she did that. "But dad, you always dial with your thumb!" When I got done laughing, she's right. We dial with our thumbs now.

Oh yeah! I used to cut the front forks off of old banana bikes and hammer them into my "good" bike to make a banana chopper out of it. Worked great until you'd pop a wheelie, the forks would fly off, and then you'd bust yourself up on the concrete.

Man I miss those days!

The bad part is I remember using/having/seeing every thing mentioned in this thread except the St. Valentine's Day Massacre...and there are days when I feel like I could have witnessed it.
