Yep...We didn't have a color TV until my Mom and I pooled our finances and purchased one, much to the dismay of my Dad..

Our idea of color tv was hooking an Apple computer monitor to a VCR (which was all the rage of the time), to watch movies.

Like a cigarette should...A lot of them find it hard to believe that cigarette commericals were an every day occurence..The Flintstones had Winston cigarettes has a primary sponser...

Too good! Because I started school late 60's we had added a third group to that as well, Hippy. Then came the mid to late 70's and we added Stoner and dropped Hippy. Glad to say, I didn't really fit any of the groups and could pass freely between all of them. Had good friends in all the groups.

You use to get cartons of Winston cigarettes when you went to Nascar races. That wasn't that long ago...
 
We are getting of topic here...The idea was someting that you took for granted as an eveyday occurence you now have to explain to those much younger...

Example: Flash Cubes
 
AM radio use to be the ONLY thing you listened to.

There were only about 3 TV stations to watch, not meaning only 3 good stations.... meaning only 3 stations

You had a record collection made up of 45s

Or you had a record collection.
