I knew people who would text with this type of phones without looking at the phone

Yeap, had one of those myself... Was always a hard choice, which one to pick

when someone would pick up the phone without asking if you were using AOL. lol

At least you got some amusement out of your computer glitching

Ever have to splice one back together because the tape snapped?

There was that big clunky accessory you could put on it to light the screen, but it was a terrible glare

I never learned how to play minesweeper, so I just clicked at the squares, hoping the next one wouldn't blow everything up

As the youngest in my family, I was not only the remote, I was also the indoor antenna. I remember, especially in bad weather or when the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, standing next to the TV with the antenna (which sometimes had aluminum foil wrapped around the top lol) in my hand so everyone else could watch the program--- which I generally got to see sideways. Sometimes I think that was part of the reason my parents had me (JK!).

And if you wanted to record your favorite songs..you'd better break out the cassettes

This was one of my favourite games on Windows 98

Struggled to delete the Wordart to free up 3Mb disk space

the curse began 1970....

Yup and proud of it!

The struggle wasn't to get it down, was to get it all the way back up!

The F*****g Sound

Omg, I remember those, you could even get eraser and crayon ones.

Having to constantly delete texts was so annoying, I used to have a phone that had room for only 30 messages

Holding it gently like a newborn on the bus so it wouldn't skip lol

The times when Kodak still was a multi billion revenue global company ;-)

We used to pull the jack out of the wall, then there would be ringing, instead of a busy tone for the caller. Made them think we weren't home...

blocking "everyone" !!

We still don’t have an effective call blocking standard. Junk calls are 90% of all my incoming calls.

Cordless phones had become pretty standard, even by the 90's.

duh, some phone models have ringer on/off

Also in the 70s.

I remember doing this

If you work in a regular office, this is still an issue...

Dropped the Ball once on my toenail as a kid and it went all black... Glad the "laser" mouse doesn't cut my toe if i drop it. 😕

Yeah we also had to sing that song we were looking for to that cute guy in the CD store so he could hopefully help us find it.

Press any key to continue or any other key to quit

Always gotta have quick fingers to hit the record button when you hear a song you like on the radio.

That's STILL an issue. At least for me

Two of my cousins and I actually managed to get the three of us on one keyboard playing Bomberman. ♥

I still don't know how to play that game properly

This was absolutely heaven. 😍

I thought this was a 90s kids post? 2006 isn't 90s.

We have gone from having 2 large phone books delivered down to 1 small phone book.

That's more like early 2000's, but I still remember doing it. The quality was terrible though. Thank god for lossless audio.

you had the fancy ones in different colours!!! Lucky!!

Or if you were home sick and there was nothing in the middle of the day except like infomercials and chats

Tamagotchi! 😍😍

Yessss I lived for my own radio mixes

Still remember the start-up sound. ♥

Someone is on the internet, I cannot use the phone

That was... Deep

The era before texting was a nightmare for introverts like me who hate not knowing who might answer the phone

this happened to one of my toy story disc and i cried for hours begging my mom to go back and buy me another one, and shes like" u already watched that movie, dont u think u watched it too many times" not the motivational quote that i was looking for mom.

I loved the old cardridges. Those were finished products, no DLC, no updates, no what so ever. Yes some games were buggy, but it had charm.

You could also remove the little tab on the side or cover it in black tape, that way it can’t be recorded over.

KaZaA the STD carrier

Hey..I used to work at Nintendo in the 90's. All these sheets of paper were common in our call center...lol

The costs of it was enough to have parents request a detailed bill. Discovered when those calls were made: internet after midnight, give away

Come back to me when you tell me about your Walkman struggles. *fancy hand gesture*

I wanted one of these so bad, but my mom refused to buy me one

Still have this phone. It belonged to my grandfather and he accidentaly made some selfievids on them. So every time i feel like it, i can listen to his voice.

We still have this in the Netherlands because ppl went mental when it was supposedly to be discontinued.
