2 - MySpace and AOL
But I’m taking those off due to two new ones I just made up:
Listened to music on a Minidisc player
Played video games on a computer or console that didn’t go online
Bemused that you’ve all used a rotary phone. Dicking about with one as a child doesn’t count.
2 for me. Rotary phone and MySpace.
Just the AOL one for me
Rotary phone, boombox, fax, encyclopedia, cheque.

I’ve never:
- Used a rotary phone (I may have messed around with one, but never made a call on one as I recall)
- Had a MySpace account
- Had an AOL email address
I almost put one point down for the vinyls record question. I’ve never put on a vinyls record myself being more of a CD and digital guy than a vinyls guy but I’ve obviously heard friends and parents and whatnot playing music on vinyls
I did use the rotary at my grandparents house to talk to my parents once in between all the ‘haha dial go whrrrr’

might be cheating with the phone book one
like, I remember looking in one, but I didn’t actually use it
used to call up mates to arrange meeting at a certain time too and phone numbers were only 7 digits long
Set of recieved a fax
Had a MySpace account (couldn’t be arsed tbh)
Had an AOL address
Only if they lived in the same place and some of them were six
neighbouring area codes had a two digit version, so nearby mates were 5 digits.

No cheques or AOL email because I’m not American.
Cheques aren’t american, the amount i swapped for cash when i was over my overdraft limit in uni was ridiculous

Feel very sad for those of you who’ve never used a typewriter. One of life’s great joys, that.

I recently bought Mrs F a typewriter style computer keyboard and calculator and they’re a lot of fun.
1- Encyclopaedia
AOL was my first ever email address. Lost so much time to their Big Brother chatrooms circa 2001
