Friendships were almost RUINED if someone held on to a DVD for too long, stopping up the flow of our Queue. I remember when the first added streaming as a free option and we didn't use it because there wasn't anything worth watching.<br /><br />My parents got a 2nd phone line just so dial-up wouldn't interfere with phone calls. I still remember the password to connect to the internet. AM3727, if you're interested. I spent HOURS in MSN chat rooms. ASL, anyone?<br /><br />We only got three local channels - you had to wake up at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday to see cartoons. My uncle, who lived in the big city and had cable, would MAIL US tapes that he'd recorded The Muppets on. I remember the wonder that filled me when I was told we were getting a dish and there would be an ENTIRE CHANNEL devoted to cartoons.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310377619133629287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-60642162153195437402015-04-13T12:10:41.484-06:002015-04-13T12:10:41.484-06:00I watched Girl Meets World because I was a die har...I watched Girl Meets World because I was a die hard Boy Meets World fan.

Now, I can relate to pretty much everything everyone is saying. Also, I still have a VCR! It's not even hiding in a basement or an attic, it is actually connected to my TV and I use it at least as much as I use my DVD player (Are DVD players outdated now too?) I actually have way more VHS than I do DVDs. The crazy thing is, I don't think I'm very old! I'm not even 30 yet (until December).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964698794691718038.post-53022791499810736062015-04-10T21:51:09.060-06:002015-04-10T21:51:09.060-06:00Oh yes!
