...and I'm old...

[D.T.S.]

I was at work today, and a young kid and his dad came into the store looking for something that would let them record video and audio from a game console. The kid said "I need to record the stuff from my Sony and put it on the computer."

Not a problem. So I asked the kid which Playstation he was using, hoping against hope that he'd say PS2 and that I wouldn't have to go into an explanation of different types of cables and what he needs to properly record.

His answer? "Oh, uh...the original."

My stunned response: "The PSX, the first Playstation? Wow, that's kinda cool."

His puzzled reaction: "I guess, yeah, just the regular PS3. I dunno."

And that's when I realized that even if I may not be old, I definitely feel it when some kid responds to my question of "Which Playstation?" with an answer intended to describe only which model of PS3 he's using. Cause why not? Original Playstation? Might as well ask him if he wants a tape drive and to fire up a Commodore.

Sigh.

What about games like Airship and the original Command & Conquer? Those were epic on PS1 and Gran Turismo, Need For Speed:Hot Pursuit. And man I go all the way back to the days of Commodore64 and Atari 2600. Woot!

I remember when a play station meant a swing set and a teeter totter. A disc drive was a hand cranked big wheel, and a line feed meant your slapped the silver bar and the carriage returned the roll holding the paper all the way to the left and rolled the paper up one line.

Now where'd I put that goll durned gerrytol? Need to get me some new fuzzy balls fer the old walker too dagnabbit.
