Shame on me

Nope.

Blame my kids: 4, 2, under 1 year old. They wake up quite early and love to jump up, scream and run around once they open their eyes. Ok, the little one only screams...

 

 

No Sleep for the "Watcher"

Old guys like me don't need a lot of sleep anyway.

Old??

 

When I was growing up the kid closest to the TV was the remote, phones had rotary dials and were often attached to a wall, and an RPG was playing Cowboys and Indians outside with the neighbors!

No difference to my childhood then.

We recorded music from the radio stations on tape.

We had 3 TV channels - to get the third one, my dad had to climb up the roof an turn the antenna until we yelled from down below - later on he installed a motor and put a cable from the roof down to the living room.

My dad was an ordinary mason and steel fixer but could afford to build a house and buy a brand new car (usually a BMW 3 series) every second year. We had no children's seats - just a thick pillow for me and a gym bag for the baby. We had no seat belts in the rear either.

The first computer I programmed ran Unix and didn't even have floppy disks, but a tape drive. It's screen had two colors: black and green.

Our first PC was worth a furtune. It had MS-DOS, fancy floppy disks which broke once you looked at them sharply and the monitor (which was like 1 meter long but only had 14") had CGA graphics - meaning 4 colours: black, white, cyan and magenta. The only games on it were a Submarine Simulator and something with a cat that had to jump from window to window.

Sweet memories - but some things really sucked now that I think of it.
