Screensavers are for entertainment, like the kaleidoscope watchface, change my mind

Τapes were even better! Especially when we recorded the songs from the radio!

Or just browsing through to see the pictures without the actual intention of buying any because you're way too young to care and thus too broke as well. ♡

American thing?

Magic the Gathering was a real thing too!

I can smell this picture!

7th grade history teacher would play old Groucho Marx movies...

The flick of hair going up!

Not much fun any more if you lose one cartridge!

Plus you could also hold the ruler against the desk and go ga-doi-oi-oing with it. :D

My kid has this 😎

This is so not 2000's! My parents had this thing before i was born!

SCREEEEECH SCREEEEECH SCREEEEECH

I still have this next to my bed. I only use it for the clock though.

I actually have this exact same thing in my room also why is it 1:10 am?

My Mom still has hers packed away somewhere.

Every household seemingly had 1 or2

I still have two Sony "Dream Machine" dual alarm clocks, both still in use. Got the first one when I landed my first job! My sister has my dads Sony Dream Machine clock from the early 80's, still looks good now. They just work.

My dad had this when I was growing up, and he still has it even now (and I’ll be 50 next year!)!

Mine was a Sony but looked almost identical.

Early 90's. And my dad still use it. It's working and waking him up for more that 30years :D

Not unique to the 2000s

Still got one. And it still gets me out of bed at 6:30 am.

My mum gave me one very similar to this in the 80s. I still have it, still use it every day

still have 2.... but muted. I love the vintage stile in my bedroom

They must have had a super sale. I had one too.

I got mine in the 80's, a white one ! Still works (almost) perfectly.

Me & my dad still each have one And they both still work

Pretty sure I had this in the 80s

More 70's?

I've got one in my bathroom that resides in my dad, the engineer, bathroom. It was impossible to ever set the time on so it was used only for the radio. After a power outage which required resetting the oven, the microwave, the TVs etc, I finally said enough, I was going to figure out how to reset this clock. Cleaned all the stuff inside with 99% isopropyl alcohol, made a few tweaks moves with my mini screwdrivers. The choir of angels singing the Hallelujah Chorus when I set it to the correct time was an added bonus. It's worked ever since. Radio ain't bad either. I pretend I'm at a karaoke bar in the shower at 4:30AM just to get even with my upstairs neighbors moving dead bodies all night.

Hahaha omg yes!😂😂

I have a very similar alarm clock, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work anymore. It for some reason doesn't make the alarm clock sound anymore which is sad because I need an alarm clock to wake up and this one was perfect because it made the sound equivalent of the screams of the damned from the 5th circle of hell and that's perfect! I don't need a pleasant tune to wake me up, no birds singing, no waterfalls, none of that sh*t. I just want an alarm clock with a sound so vile that it makes me want to leave the bed out of spite to turn it off. If anyone got any suggestions I'm all ears

Still see them around

My stepfather has had once since long before I existed, and it sits on his end table and blares that horrific alarm at 5.20am to this day.

Parents did

80’s

Umm I literally just had this thing, (I got a new clock) , the clock used to be my parents

my mom and dad both had one on their night stand lol

I don't even own a clock anymore; computer, phone, microwave, tablet but no stand-alone clock.

My parents still have one if those lol, it'll never die!

Got mine in the 90s...

Mine, from high school until it died, looked like this but had flip numbers, not LED.
