I'm so old I remember when ambulance chasers didn't advertise on afternoon and late night TV. Personal injury attorneys.
Well, I’m older than dirt. However, I can still remember - all 25 - so I’m arguably still useful. In the archives.

I only remember 3 and 15. 18. I also remember one of my teachers having a mimeograph machine and paper.
