And people don't delete stuff to make room from their hard drives any more?
Really? I delete stuff all the time.
I do, too. There were a few on that list that made me boggle.
I mean, the Victrola still plays as good as ever, so there's no need to replace it!
Thanks msbelle and Jesse.
The town I grew up in didn't have any stores by the time I was old enough to go to them. The grocery store was open until 9 pm and 6 pm on Sundays.
A few years back a WFMU DJ was telling the story about how a listener (who I think was about 19) called her and asked what a 12" single was.

call me.
I miss diving boards.
74. Toys actually being suitable for the under-3s.
I don't even get this one.
I think it was in Mass., when I grew up.
Malls were definitely open on Sundays (even in Mass.), not package stores though.
Why are liquor stores called package stores in Mass? The first time I heard "package store" I thought we were going to UPS!

I still can't believe you can buy liquor on Sundays there now! And get tattoos! Crazy.

Heh. I think for the subtlety -- you got your booze in a brown paper package? But I don't actually know.
Also, I had a friend in high school whose boyfriend was nicknamed "Packy" like the liquor store, and no one thought there was a problem with that!

Mass.
is
crazy. Even in my youth, package stores there were open until 10 pm, not 8 pm, as in the ever-more-civilized Conn.
