Don't worry.  You'll be 16 in plenty of time for the UCS X-Wing Fighter
and TIE Interceptor. ;)

OK, you going to buy it for me?? :)  I'd love to have it but it's that
thing called $$$$$, and I'm trying to get the system sets.

This thread really ought to be moved to lugnet.people in fact I'm
posting it there as well, so set followups to there only, as ages of
readers has nothing to do with SW.

Ha-ha!  So you think!

Forgive me, I lied, I'm not 15, but all I'm going to tell you about my
real age is that I was born a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away :P

Ugh.  I'm 28.  I remember seeing Gerald Ford as a child.

*trip* THUMP

LFB.

I feel old *and* young, and I'm only twenty!  ;)  The earliest major event I
can remember was the Challenger Explosion, when I was six.  Up to that point, • I
had wanted my mother (she is a teacher) to be on that launch.

On a related note, it's really unnerving to hear for the first time about new
music groups composed of people younger than oneself.  Not only that, but I
like "oldies" music!  Ya know, that stuff from the '80s?  :)  Heck, I • remember
when MTV only played music videos!  *Gasp!*  :)

I remember when HBO started at 5:00 pm each day, and they showed MOVIES!!

I remember having to use an antenna to get a total of 5 channels if you were
lucky.  We even had a black an white TV!  Oh the humanity...  :)

I also remember when if you asked someone if there would ever be a PC in your
home they would have locked you up in a mental institution.

All that and I am only a month from being 30 :).  Imagine what our older
friends have seen (or hadn't seen for that matter).

(...) Yup. The phrase '3 channels' sticks in my mind for some reason. Oddly, the first channel in Tampa (as I recall) was 38/UHF. Broadcasted from the pier in downtown St. Pete. And phone numbers always started with two letters. Which is why I like (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.people)
