    Movie night! Be kind, please rewind! I worked at the video store in town and spent many days rewinding videos.

    Floppy Disk
    I used these to save my college papers on. But, I also taught high school students how to use them until about 2003. Pretty rough when you'd lose one of these babies or if you left them in your car.

    I joined Pinterest back in the day when you had to be INVITED by a friend who was already a member.
