Better Setup Than Dear Old Dad Had!

What a difference 30 years makes.

At their age I had PONG in B/W on a Zenith 27" Console Wood Television set that had no remote control and 4 channels., Disney Movies at the theater, Polaroid InstaMatic, Super8 movies, Stereo, Vinyl. I played in forts, treehouses, and roamed the neighborhood on my trusty Big Wheel (or my brother's Green Machine) bareheaded and barefoot.

They have: HD-DVD, Blu-Ray,PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, Digital Cable-Over 200 channels, 24 hr cartoons, internet, HDTV, Digital Cameras, Chat, 42" 1080p Plasma, 7.1 Dolby, 300W Subs, HDMI, Satellite Radio, HardDrive Storage. They play at McDonald's playland, climb upon giant slabs of plastic, drive battery powered cars and ride tiny scooters while wearing plastic helmets, gloves, and knee/elbow pads.
