Kiddos today are growing up in an entirely different world. On occasion after I have shared a story from my past with him, my teenage grandson responds with How weird. We miss what we had. No one but God can undo what has been done.
I know, I get weird looks when I tell them I remember when TV was black and white, I had an 8-Track in my first car and my first computer (TI-99/4A) had 16K of RAM and I loaded programs from cassette. I still watch a 1982 Zenith since I got it new in 1983.

My huge Zenith floor model died several years ago. Great company. I keep a smaller older TV because it plays our old 8 track recorded cartoons which my grandson loves. One of these days maybe I’ll transfer them to something a little more modern or maybe not. Also have a huge bunch of 78’s and 45’s and kept an old computer which has DOS loaded on it, as well as some old floppy disks with real data. Have taught my grandson some of the DOS commands and he thinks it’s really cool.
I’ve always felt grandparents need to keep remnants of their past and share them with their grandkids. Only way they are going to be able to experience them.

We had a Zenith, but then, for some reason, my mom bought an RCA.
