Maybe. Did you stick your pinky finger into one of the reel hubs and turn it, to take the slack out of the tape? We used to do that as a precaution, so the next time you put it in a tape deck the slack tape didn't get grabbed by the capstan roller or something and the tape got "eaten." If you did that, then you're definitely in. Otherwise...we'll see.

Same here.. .and I remember breaking the knob and then we had a pair of channel-locks permanently attached to the stem so that we could change channels!

Hey, can't help it that my gym has too many hot chicks with yoga pants walking around squatting, and bending, and stretching and squeezing and thrusting and shaking and cat walking and flipping and twerking and booty clapping and...I think that's it?

Can you imagine the bill they could run up at the going rate of $0.85/minute for airtime back in the day...plus the ground call charge!

I had a Globalstar satellite phone for six years a while back, and that was $1.49/minute to use with something like 30 free minutes per month. (My DW was doing field work in some pretty remote areas, and I would have gladly paid $25.29/minute if she needed help!) It was fun to use from cruise ships at sea, when using the on-board satellite cellular link was over $2.00/minute.

In the 1990's, we had a Skycell geostationary satellite phone in the One Lap of America car, as a sponsorship deal since we were running a huge press campaign from the road for a worthy cause. That phone had its own 800 number, and the going rate for satellite time was $2.49/minute. Fun times making calls from the desert with that thing.

What? No WHT on channel 68? How did you get your daily Uncle Floyd fix?

Although now moving into the realm of the old farts thread, I actually wrote a state grant when I was in high school back in the late 1970's to buy four blank VHS tapes for the school...at their 1970's retail price of $49.99 each!!!!!

The school had two brand new ones, along with two cabled color cameras. There was no budget left for tapes for student projects, hence the state grant for four tapes ($200 total). I had to lug the bigger VHS deck about 45 minutes away to the cable company's TV studio every Thursday afternoon, to dub the week's school news productions from VHS onto 3/4" so they could air them. Think of how easy life would have been if we had a stinking iPhone back then!

Absolutely! The B&W reel-to-reel VTR and cabled camera that I inherited from before the color VHS stuff was actually top-threading. Oh, and all of it was manual tracking knobs only to align the heads between different tapes.

The irony of the last several posts where we all reveal how old we are...on a dating thread.

We're not too old to have fun. We ain't dead yet.

Maybe if you also remember using a VHS as well, you may be considered to enter the cool group

Or if you ever used blank cassettes to record songs from the radio when you couldn't spend money on..... here it is.... albums from artists on cassettes. Lol

Here's a snippet from a text thread with the woman I met for lunch last Saturday. She and some fellow parents of high schoolers are discussing a Coronavirus-motivated "Plan B," having booked a cruise for them and their kids for Spring Break.

Side note: who the fuck under the age of 80 books cruises? And...for high school kids' Spring Break? Why not go balls-out and book a stay at an Amish farm and live on the edge, for fuck's sake?

So I try to inject some playfulness and humor by suggesting a trip to Minot ND. Everyone in the Midwest knows that to be pretty much the end of the earth and would find the suggestion of a trip there to be funny, especially in this bleak time of year. Yeah...not this terminally geeky, dour lass.

I never have used a VHS at home actually, I really don't recall us having the player for it either. I know we have hella tapes somewhere but I was basically a CD kid. At school though we had tapes and the yellow school bus/goosebumps stuff was such a treat

Oh, she was serious alright. I don't think there's anything she's not deadly serious about.

She's a PK. That is, a "Preacher's Kid." It's "a thing" which I had no knowledge of until I dated a Protestant woman, having grown up Catholic. Along with "MK's" which are "Missionaries' Kids." I won't delve into the psychological dynamics of it; you can research it on your own.
