Some times things slip when you like me are a sobered up pothead :crazy:
So massaging my grey gooe, in truth it was probably the 1983 #3 star wars movie return of the jedi i was thinking about :Oops:
Still 1983 that's probably before quite a few of people that come here, and in 1983 i was for sure 17
…..
It seem every time i think back on something and go like that was 10 - 15 years ago, in actual it was more like 20 - 25 years ago
…..
For “quite a few” that's no doubt right, and a perspective I'm familiar with. Several years back, there was a thread with a question like “What was your first computer gaming experience?” and a collection of
relatively recent responses. I remember thinking back and for me, it was a game of Battleships on the operator's console of an IBM mainframe in the mid ‘60’s.
I remember thinking, it's not only before quite a lot of members here were born, but probably before some of their parents were.
That's really what I love about this (and similar) forums. You can converse with people with zero preconceptions. You don't know age, nationality, race, religion, gender, sexual preference …. nothing. Except what they tell you, and you have to take even that on trust.
When you really start to feel old is when TV presenters start to talk about “historical” events, like JFK's assassination, and you think “Yeah, I remember where I was and what I was doing when that happened”.
