Pop Quiz: How many have you done?

[OddBeMe]

I’ve done em all baby.

[WindAtMyBack]

All but 1-2.

I never had a MySpace account.
Not sure about Columbia Records. I have ordered from similar catalogs, but I'm not sure if it was Columbia.

I still have two rotary phones. I think they still work.
I still have hundreds of floppy discs.
I had a typewriter until about 2-3 years ago.
I still have a few film cameras, which are WAY better than any digital I've ever used, including phone camera.
I still listen to music CDs on a regular basis - almost daily.
I still use mix tapes if CDs and thumb drives count.
I still have a VHS machine, but never use it.
I still write in cursive sometimes when I need to write fast.
I still have an Atari 800.
I still use paper dictionaries sometimes, and on rare occasions paper encyclopedias.
I still have some phone books, but don't use them. They are way better and easier to use than the online crap - except they are outdated and most of the numbers are probably wrong.
I have hundreds of paper maps. You could say I'm a collector.
I still write a check once a year. The state will not accept electronic payments. So it's either a check by mail, or go to the DMV in person. (I think they don't accept electronic because they want a real signature.)
I still uncurl the phone cord going to the wall.

I played Nintendo & Game Boy & never an Atari. As for internet it was dial up but I didn’t have AOL because it was slow at the time so my family went with ProLog instead. I never ordered from Columbia House.

My first computer was an IBM 5150 & yes I used floppy disks & learned basic & dos as a kid & after all these years I still saved the disks.

[4ngelic]

got 13 or maybe 10 if you dont count trying something just one time (rotary phone, typewriter, film camera, cd, vhs, blockbuster, cursive, encyclopedia, phone book, postcard, paper map, dictionnary, phone cord)

[OddBeMe]

Film camera I got in college in my film class back in 2004. So not fair but…point!

[Beckybooboo]

8. What the hell is a floppy disk and Atari? Lol… I had to do a double take for floppy “disk”.

[DryGermanGuy]

History explanation: Real floppy disks were only 8 inch and 5,25 inch. The 3,5 inch had a hard casing, but were still called floppies. 🙂

[goaded]

I never made a mix tape, I've done most of the rest.

[OddBeMe]

Uhg, I had to once because my CD player was fcked and all I had was tape. Drug my dad’s 3 1/2 recorder and hooked up a computer to tape recording in a pinch.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

I don't know how many people have done each of these, but I scored 23 points.

The only thing I haven't done on this list is ordered anything from Columbia House. I didn't even know what that was, so I Googled it.

[NathanDavis]

[WhiteSteve]

Flawless. Victory.🥷

[OddBeMe]

Even film camera? I only had that on because of film class in college. Lol

[WhiteSteve]

Not sure if you mean like an old Kodak camera and you’d drop the negatives off to be developed at the Photomat shack in some plaza parking lot, or like a real camera and you develop the pics in a darkroom, but I’ve done both. My mom made me play with this dorky kid a couple times, and he had a photography set up, so I took some pictures and he showed me how to develop them. Then his brother took the wet wooden spatula he was pushing the pictures around the pan with the developing solution and pressed it on the dark room light he had screwed into a lamp, and the bulb exploded. The dorky kid freaked out and that was the end of the developing, but it’s enough to count for this😂

[OddBeMe]

Well any type. Polaroids could be film I guess. But I did learn to process photographs and film stock.

Then I graduated and the industry went to mini tapes. Better. Then SD cards…thank fckin christ. :)

[molonski2]
