2. My first system was the NES and it belonged to the family as a whole though and the year was probably aroun 86 or 88 maybe 90 at the latest. The first system that was mine though was the SNES which I got for Christmas 1995, Santa was really good to me that year.

4. No to both though I did watch some of the old Transformers cartoons but wasn't really into them as much as I was Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

6. Yes, my Dad used to own an Italian restaurant and I remember before the public smoking ban was passed in Southern California that there was a smoking and non smoking section in the restaurant.

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,694]

1. I want to say 3rd or 4th. I learned the basics early in Ms. Pohl's computer class, 5 1/4 floppy disks and all, but didn't get good at typing until much later.

 

2. An NES. My brother and I got it for Christmas around 1993 or so. What a holiday that was.

 

3. A 1980-something Dodge Charger my dad owned. He had many strange and broken-down cars that met unpleasant fates, including a '75 Colt that rusted to hell and was finally destroyed by a drunk who crashed his Suburban into my parents' apartment building. And a yellow Volkswagen that fell apart piece by piece. The hood even came loose and flew off into a swamp while he was driving down the highway. But I was too young to remember those. xD

 

4. Nope. I did watch the "Beast Wars" show on TV, though.

 

5. Arne Carlson. He was the governor of Minnesota starting in 1991. After him, George H.W. Bush.

1. What grade did you learn to type in? And have you ever used an ordinary typewriter, whether it was electric or manual?

I believe it was in 3rd grade - we had typing tests which tested upon our skills of whether or not we can type without looked at the keyboard. It was also electric.

It was either the N64 or GCN - however, I was WAY to young to remember which ones I got first and when, sadly.

[Galen 1,353]

1. What grade did you learn to type in? And have you ever used an ordinary typewriter, whether it was electric or manual?

 

I've been in various schooling systems so it's hard to tell exactly which grade I first learned to type. I would estimate around 6th or 7th grade was when I first started typing. I was never big on type-writers in the first place. It wasn't until I started the IB (rough equivalent of High School in the US) that I started to learn how to type fast enough. What made it doubly-hard was that I was using French keyboards and the number buttons on top of the letters required me to use the shift key. The number pad was something I avoided back then for no reason at all '_'

 

 

2. What was your first home video game system and what year did you get it?

 

SNES, and Super Mario Kart was the first game I played on it :33 That said, Megaman X will always remain my favorite game apart from Minecraft <3

Opel Corsa. That car was older than me. Sadly, it has been put to rest. I will miss you, dear friend :*(

 

 

4. Did you ever have first generation My Little Ponies or Transformers? If so, when did you get them?

 

I never had either of them. Neither really got my interest at the time.

 

 

5. Who was the earliest president, prime minister, governor, head honcho, etc. of your country that you have a first hand memory of?

 

In the US, it would be Bill Clinton, namely because I moved there during his presidency. In Italy, the earliest politician I remember is Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, who'd been president of Italy during my childhood.

 

 

6. Do you recall smoking being allowed in workplaces where you live? US members under 20 will generally say no but answers from other countries may vary.

 

Yes, actually. The high school my grandmother used to work had a cleaner/prefect who would smoke quite a lot in the office. I still remember the smell of that place -_-

 

 

7. Did you ever use old-style roller skates instead of roller blades?

 

I don't skate xD

 

 

8. Did you ever use a pre-Windows PC?

 

Not that I recall.

6. Do you recall smoking being allowed in workplaces where you live? US members under 20 will generally say no but answers from other countries may vary.

 

Not really, smoke-free zones were implemented when I was very young.

 

7. Did you ever use old-style roller skates instead of roller blades?

 

Not really.

8. Did you ever use a pre-Windows PC?

Ehhh, no, like I said, my first computer was the Windows 98.

Yes, we used to get a lot of videos from Blockbuster and we owned several VHS tapes with the sticker on it.

 

10. Name the first big blockbuster movie you recall watching in a theater that wasn't a re-release.

 

 

That's a toughie, the only big movies I remember seeing in theaters as a young kid was movies like Star Wars Episode II, Atlantis the Lost Empire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers' Stone and Finding Nemo. So it was either of those.

All unanswered questions are either "no" or "can't remember."

 

1. What grade did you learn to type in? And have you ever used an ordinary typewriter, whether it was electric or manual?

 

I was never taught to type, but the first time I was assigned a typed paper was in 4th grade.  I typed using only my two index fingers for years, and until 2 years ago still used my left one to hit the space bar.  And yes, it was on a PC.

 

2. What was your first home video game system and what year did you get it?

 

A Playstation, acquired around 2000 if I remember right.  I was 4, so...

 

9. Remember “Be kind, please rewind”?

 

In fact I do!  I also remember the ooh's and aah's that filled the room when we first started up our DVD player.

 

10. Name the first big blockbuster movie you recall watching in a theater that wasn't a re-release.

 

Finding Nemo.  I probably went to at least one before that, but that's the only release I remember with any clarity.
