qwertyaccount 15793 Report post Posted November 19, 2013 Few to no telemarketing calls -- long distance was very expensive so only local businesses would call. Phones without caller ID -- as kids we could fearlessly call random numbers and ask "Is your refrigerator running?" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Well not commonly seen, but the emergence of a gimmick, something that really never caught on because it has no practical use ;-) the first cell phone http://mashable.com/2014/03/13/first-cellphone-on-sale/ and I'm not 100 percent sure, but the police in the 1980's (in Canada) still used a flap holster to carry their sidearms in. And gas prices weren't what they are today. I remember when the first Gulf War was on, early 1990's gas rose to around 50 cents/litre, and that was thought high...wish it would go back to those prices RG Edited July 4, 2014 by r__m__g_uy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who the hell could afford that? What's worse is I traded it in on a Z24. :ablow: Regrets, I've had a few....... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
