I may be old but...

There's something quaint about some of these relics of a bygone era...e.g. my childhood (and teenage years and even college days).

* milk home-delivered in glass bottles (left in the tin box)
* drive-in movie theaters
* movie theaters with dramatic, heavy full-length curtains and balcony seating
* regular gas
* dial television sets with rabbit-ear antenna
* rotary phones that you rented from the phone company
* flipping through the Sears catalogue and dog-earing pages for your Christmas list
* life before VCRs (remember the Betamax?)
* mimeographing
* Coke and RC Cola in returnable glass bottles
* diaper services
* home movies on 8mm film
* 126 and 110 cartridge film
* television stations signing off from broadcasting at night with the Star Spangled Banner
* 8 track tape player in the car
* manual typewriters
* cap hair dryers
* handwritten letters

I actually remember all of these things. Okay, maybe it's just nostalgia that makes them seem cool (I admit, most of these things went the way of the dodo for a reason -- lack of efficiency and invention of newer technology). I still maintain, however, that the world is definitely the worse for the disappearance of drive-in theaters.
