You have died of Dysentery!

Why buy it when you can tape it from the radio!
One of the best Christmas presents was the two cassette tape players. I could make my own mixtapes and record songs from the radio. Then I could jam out on my Walkman while I worked on my homework. I just had to work on my timing, so I didn't get the DJ voice from the radio as I was taping songs. -
Electronic Typewriter
We thought we were so progressive when we got our first electronic typewriter. I remember typing up my school reports on this bad boy! My sister and I loved seeing the words pop up on the screen. -

The Magical World of Disney
My family loves Disney! For Christmas and birthdays, we could count on getting a new Disney VHS tape! We created a list of the VHS we didn't have, and we would organize our family collection by alphabet order. My parents still house the entire Disney VHS collection. -
Don't forget to feed your Nano Pet!
Nano pets were so amazing because they were so small and a techie pet! I remember having a puppy nano pet and a bunny. It was almost as stressful as having a regular pet because you had to feed, wash, and take care of you pet or it died! -
The phone that never broke!
The first cellphone that people could afford! My sister and I worked at a movie theater and would often get out late at night. My parents got a Nokia phone that my sister and I shared. I remember getting the prepaid minute cards that we had to enter in. It was so nice not to use a pay phone, and the phone never broke! -
