Did you capitalize them all? If you do that they change them all to lower case. At least one has to be lower case. I think.

OK, here's another one from the dark ages -- until my Sr. year in HS, girls had to wear dresses or skirts to school. It was such a huge deal to be able to wear pants -- but not jeans. (Boys couldn't wear jeans, either.) Blew my mind when I got to college and could wear whatever I wanted to class.

Liebfraumilch? It is the German version of our "Two-Buck Chuck" I think my H told me that it means something like "milk of my beloved woman". Any real German speakers here?

Added: checked my H's desk - his slide ruler is still there, in the same drawer as his 5-inch floppies.

boone's farm strawberry hill... (never drank it, but it was around back in the day!)

oh- how about going to Europe with NO CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD! traveler's checks and cash, and when you ran out, you RAN OUT.

How about the kitchen phones with the loooooong curly wire? you could walk around the whole house.

Pong.

My son once asked me how we changed the channels or volume on the tv without a remote. um, well, you got off your butt and went over to the tv and turned the dial.

My kitchen phone still has the long curly wire. Somehow like the sound better than portables, though have those for other rooms.

Due to the early exposure to Leibfraumilch, (loved woman's milk) I still have an affection for Rhine wines. Probably declasse to a wine connissour...

Manual car windows. My kids marvel at the ways we had to exert ourselves back in the antediluvian days.

In a few years they will be trying to explain 'maps' to their kids who are used to an electronic voice saying "turn right in .2 miles ............... recalculating".
