People 30+, what's something that happened back your day?

I remember dial-up internet, where the phone and internet were on the same line, and if someone in your house wanted to use the phone you had to stop using the internet for a bit 😁.

I remember renting video games at blockbuster and late fees.

@Lostpoet One time my brothers and I broke a Blockbuster VHS tape and our parents had to pay for it. They were not happy 😂.

@SW-User Lol. We used to build buildings and garages for our toy trucks. I thought VHS tapes were indestructible.

@Lostpoet Well, they don't like to be rewinded and fast-forwared over and over again, that's for sure.

@SW-User I do remember the vcr sometimes eating the tapes and you had to by head cleaner.

@Lostpoet If you miss late fees, just don't return your copy of [i]The Brothers Karamazov [/i]to the library.

@Lostpoet God I don't miss it. Good riddance to the world that was when were kids... Blockbuster and Hollywood video went under [i][b]in huge part because they deserved to.[/b][/i]

My sister WORKED for Hollywood Video, they made MOST of their Money off late fees. Reed Hasting's got PISSED and founded Netflix pretty much to get revenge and that's why I admire him..,. I've never quiet been so fond of a rich person.
