Re: Retro-thread
Danger Mouse (funny how I knew *all* of those before even clicking on the links...) got me my own TV in my room because I wanted to watch the british superspy and my father would have none of it, so it was "Fine! Here!" and he got me this ancient tube and hooked the cable up to it for me, hehehe.
I still remember when I brought the DVD home. "Dad! Dad! Guess what I found at work today! You'll love it!" *Has it set up on the bigscreen in the family room* It was fun watching my father swear, heheheheh.
Also, if we're going that route...
I only saw this *much* later than when it originally aired, but as a kid, loved it! (So un-PC now, but what isn't from back then? *laughs*)

Never watched Dangermouse, but I remember Count Duckula. Those were all on those quizzes I posted, too. Well except for Lancelot Link that is. If you don't want to take the quiz you can just play the clips by the way.

Re: Retro-thread
Friends and I were talking the other night and he goes "Yeah, I watched [some random sci-fi movie] on MTV the other day." "Wait, what?" "I watched..." "On MTV." "Yes." "M.T.V? Music television?" "Yeah, they finally admitted that they're technically no longer MTV." "About damn time."

[Double-Post Resurrection!]
It suddenly occurred to me, as I completed downloading a video that was approximately 1.2GB, that the computer I grew up with had 64KB of RAM, and could store up to 1MB on a 5.25" floppy disk. In short... it was this computer:

Re: Retro-thread
It's reasons like this that I had my mother tape "The Net" when I saw that it was on TV. I really want to see the differences between now and then when it comes to hacking and the like.
Myself, I had an Apple IIC to get me started and hooking it up to an actual TV to get COLOR GRAPHICS HOLY SHIT!
