I am so generationally lost, because I was born in 1981 and I'm too young to remember Atari and too old to not be horrified by the return of leggings. But I will say that I used a payphone last week with a huge hit of nostalgia (using my calling card at school when my mom was late picking me up! the heavy weight of the plastic handset and the coiled, inflexible and metallic-smelling cord!). I also own a VCR, on which I used to play my Buffy Eastlandt tapes in college, and which now does double duty as a router for our various systems (you have to turn it on and change the channel to use the Xbox) and my player for the awesome original (non-remastered) Star Wars tapes A. got me on Ebay. And the clock radio next to my bed was purchased for me in 1988 and still runs fine, thanks (and inexplicably has "fast" and "slow" buttons instead of "hour" and "minutes").

In conclusion: kids these days.
