Default 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About

Worth passing along. I know almost all of them and have done almost all of them. The sad part is that many here have probably never even heard of many of them...

Sadly i remembered everything on that list. Vividly. LaserDisks, BetaMax (I had one of these till it finally broke just a couple years ago) and all of that. Something bring back some vivid memories as well. They forgot somethings like Atari, Kelcovision, Intellivision and so on. But with that said we could make a list of 1,000 things that have changed. It is a ever growing list...
