when a Pentium 1 was the fastest processor on the planet

I can remember whole Pentium 1/2/3 scale thing.
I can remember VCRs
And for some reason I remember when they used to bring out new grades of numberplate in the UK. Since here the first letter of a cars numberplate is an indication of the year it was made. I think they got to the end of the alphabet some time ago but I remember when they were up to X/Y/Z.

Besides that my memory is really terrible. Most of the time I have trouble remembering what I did last week let alone stuff from when I was small.

Ahh yes the dial up noise was annoying.
I remember when people used to actually use America Online.
What else.. Hmm.
When kids in elementary/middle school used to not have cell phones. Now it seems like everyone does [excluding me] XD
I remember these really annoying squirrels in my backyard that would always throw acorns at me! Seriously, they would!
I remember what it was like to have a mom when she wasn't crazy. Well, actually I don't remember that too well. I just remember her giving me chocolate milk in bed ^_^

I dunno, a lot of messed up stuff happened when I was younger. I had to grow up fast.

Oh well

Recess was the **** though. I remember going to middle school and thinking "What? There's no playground?!!"

I used to love that :)

I remember many things. Only being allowed to call my mates after 6pm cause then it was free. When we got our first computer and it was amazing back then. Playing RuneScape for the first time on RSC. Many things.

i remember when me and my friends used to make a "fort" in the woods behind or house
and the other kids used to try to reck it and stuff :P

catching toads after a rain on a warm day. then being grossed out when they ***** on ya.

catching mud bugs (craw fish) in the stream behind my old place. we would see how many we could get in one day, then let them go...then i found out i could have been eating them the whole time! :x funny because now i cant ever find any (to eat) :roll:

oh i almost forgot, when i was younger, like 6-7 and i got really mad i would ask
" mom can i say a cuss word?? " and she would let me as something like dam or w/e :lol:
then i grew up and now she dont care if i cuss.


unlike most of you guys i didnt ever really get on the internet or play video games.
i kinda had to grow up fast to, i spent a lot of my childhood in a hospital.
because my mom and i were both sick a lot. and then when my mom would get out and my dad was at work i had to take care of her. and i've been homeschooled since 3rd grade...so no memories of that kinda stuff. yeah my childhood was boring :?

I remember the dial up sound, when "who's dating who and omfg he txt'ed me this" wasn't what I hear constantly in the halls.

I remember when there were GOOD shows on TV, not the stupid ones they broadcast now.

I remember when beating a videogame was the greatest thing ever- now its the greatest thing to you and 10million other people.

I remember when going to school was fun.
