The "What's for dinner" thread got me thinking about the old days. Here's where you can post your memories of "back in the day."
Back in the day, the phone was attached to the wall. If you were "privileged" you had a long cord between the base and handset. Quick hacker note: you could get free long distance by whistling a specific tone into the phone. The Captain Crunch whistles were perfect for this.
Here's what an old school selfie looked like (if you had a Polaroid camera):

Here's what your music looked like:

And heaven help you if your favorite song was in the middle of "Side B"...
Oh, and if you had a favorite song, you had to call in and request it on the radio and then sit by with a finger on the "record" button but that jerk wad dj would always talk over the beginning of the song. If you had a good mix tape (like a playlist, but was a LOT harder to add/remove/rearrange songs) you'd have to be sure to pop the tab to prevent someone from recording over it.
