Black and white tv. Only got 3 channels and you had to get up and go to the TV to change channels.
And they had small screens.

Re: Age Survey: How old are you?
I'm about to have my 66th birthday. As a very little boy, like tens of thousands of other kids my age, I had a Davey Crocket "coonskin" cap, a rubber Bowie knife, and pop gun rifle with a cork. I fondly remember hunting "bar" in the basement of our little four room house and in the wilderness of our small town 1/8 acre backyard. For me, it was an idyllic, innocent time and place to grow up; and yup, those were the good 'ol days.

Yes sir. I was Roy Rogers galloping around the backyard on a stick horse with a plastic head stuck on it that looked like Trigger. I had a Mattel Winchester lever gun that you side loaded metal cartridges and they would eject when you cocked the lever.

Re: Age Survey: How old are you?
My first "firearm" was a cap gun. One time before Sunday School a friend and I carefully placed a cap on the bottom of each leg of a steel folding chair. The floor was concrete. When the adults came in and barely touched a chair they would go off but not all at once. Even after an hour one would go off. My friend and I were found guilty and their only evidence was Edward and me laughing. Seems we were the only ones that thought it was funny. We had to sit through an hour's lecture on how we were "stealing" God's time.

I'd bet God would see the humor. Somebody told me once if you want hear God laugh, tell him your plans.

Re: Age Survey: How old are you?
I carried a Master Barlow folding knife with a 3 15/16" blade all through high school and Super & teachers knew.
Now I'd be expelled and banned from every school in the country
