@ Deeply Scared. I also have a couple of colorful words come out of my mouth when I do that.
Here's a few more I thought of...
You know what it means to dial a number and roll down a window, and neither of those activities involves a button of any type.
You also know what the term "rewind" really means when it comes to AV technology.
Speaking of AV technology, you were once a badass because you were an AV monitor, and helped with overhead projectors and film projectors (no computers of any kind involved).
You know what AV is without having to google it.
You remember the distinct smell of your school assignments that were handed to you with purple mimeographed ink on them, from the "ditto machine".
You've used a microfiche machine, and know how to properly pronounce "microfiche".

Nice try, Losfer, but I used to run the 16mm projector in third grade (1963) and could even splice the film when it broke.
Whippersnapper!

Thanks TR - you just made me feel younger!
I've spliced some tape back in the day, too. Did you use scotch tape as well? Wasn't sure if that was the proper way for me to do it, but it always seemed to do the trick.

Hell, no. We had film splicing kits with special tape.

And before you sit on the floor, making sure there's a chair or something near by to help when you need to get back up.
Well.........I seem to have hit a nerve here!

Here's the first 'home computer' we had (this is true, I'm NOT kidding):

I am truly humbled. I am going to retreat and go play in the sandbox with all of my other fellow whippersnappers now!

LOL - Next we'll learn about:
"Duck and Cover" drills(which I remember doing, along with neighborhood air raid sirens)
Or as we called it - "kissing your ass goodbye"

Another sign of getting old...
You can call a 40 year old man a "whippersnapper"!
Going to practice my "duck and cover" before TR hurls his projector kit at me.

Shit, Losfer, I can't even *remember* 40 ...

Your mileage may vary... in accordance with the prophecy.
Do not back up. Severe tire damage.
