Turbo buttons on the PC.

I remember those. I also remember some games becoming virtually unplayable in "turbo-mode".

Also, I'd like to add Winspector to my list. :-)

Norton Commander!

That's something I don't want to remember.

On 'culture': MC Miker G and DJ Sven - The Holiday Rap. Something me and my friend frowned upon and made fun of.
Grandmaster Melle Mel, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five: when hiphop was called rap.

On dirty internet habits: before there was the internet, Pr0n was spelled porn and found in magazines on the top row of magazine stores.

You're really old if porn was sold behind the counter, if you remember washing machines with a paddle where you'd have to pour in the hot water yourself and had to share your bed with your brothers (or sisters, if you were a girl). No, I'm not talking incest, I'm talking small houses with big families were children slept one at the top and one at the bottom, facing the other end. But those are childhood memories of my parents, not of mine.

But it's a strange thing to realize, there's people still alive who didn't even know TV's existed, as they weren't invented, nor were vacuum cleaners, hot water from the tap. Even stranger, we live in a world where the wealth is thus poorly distibute, for many people today that's things they can only dream about.

What about those rubber sort-of suction cups that you could fold inwards (not sure if they actually stuck onto surfaces) and would after five seconds or so jump up?
Those are pretty old and I've never seen them since I was young.

When MTV had Ray Cokes as Roy Cakes.

Heh, true. List some things you remember as a kid in Belgium. I might not know any of them, but I'm sure others will!

That looks similar to the TV my family had in the living room for many of my childhood years. The brand was Sylvania. It had the same keypad to enter channels instead of the older-style knobs. My aunt replaced her console TV just a few years ago. That thing lasted forever.

First computer.. lol Laser 286 8mghz turbo 12mghz

I agree it's the only way I buy coke.

Bakelite phones is a good item in this list : seeing the perplexity on the face of youngsters when dealing with those devilish contraptions is quite fun.

.... oh, and Musclor (I have to find his original name!) [edit : done ! 'he-man' ....and he got re-launched in 2012 ? wtf ! ]

Well, 35 is not old, young master CrowTRobo - unless you have been at a fool's errand all this long; and have little interesting to tell abut it.

Meanwhile I think I am Older than God because I am a Eric Cantona fan. And there has been no other besides Diego Forlan in and since previous football WC.

Everyone in my age group of 30-35 seem to be in a big hurry to feel old. I mean in some sense I have been old since I stopped partying at 25 or so, but all in all I feel young and don't see 34 as being old at all in the year 2014. Maybe I am naive.

My girl is 27 and she already feels old too!

Rotary telephones.

The wonderful puke green kitchen appliances and other disgusting appliance colors of that era. Also, bathroom tubs and sinks had some awful looking colors. I think older generations could only see in black and white, that has to be the reason that they persisted for so long.


I had the older model growing up, with the knob for channels, the knob for volume, and a pull knob for the power switch. And of course, when it died the new TV rested on it for a couple years.

Edit: not my actual TV just found the pic on the interwebs.
