Hopping you have enough change in your pocket to finish your call.
Signing on and hearing "you've got mail".
Adjusting rabbit ears for a less snowy picture.
Lugging your video recorder on your shoulder.
Searching Library index cards for your book locations.
Searching through heavy encyclopedias for homework and research.
Dropping off film and waiting for days to get your pictures back.
Floppy discs.
Getting your book stamped at the Library.
Searching un-refoldable paper maps.
Waiting up to a year for your favorite movie to be released for your home collection.
Looking up movie times at the local theater.
The joy of playing one of the few new games in their infancy.
Dialing phone numbers and waiting through all the clicking of the rotary phones was the worst.
Early projectors and endless note taking.
Recording your favorite songs off the radio and trying to cut out the DJ intro's and outro's.
Recording television programs and events hopping your friends wouldn't spoil the endings before you watched it

Inside 'Dracula's Castle', the Romanian fortress which sparked a very bloody legend (22 Pics)
It is the ‘home’ of one of the greatest villains ever to stalk our nightmares – a place where only the brave might venture, and the more nervous might fear a sharp pain in the neck.
Alternatively, it might be seen as a splendid royal palace in a less-seen part of Europe.
Either way, these pictures give a fascinating insight into the fortress that supposedly played host to one of the darkest figures of European mythology – Count Dracula.
Bran Castle – which perches on a dramatic hilltop near Brasov in central Romania – has long been linked to the toothsome vampire. Constructed in the early 14th century, it is open to the public, who are able to peer into its creaky rooms and dark passageways.
Sharp-eyed tourists will point out that Dracula did not exist.
And they would – rather obviously – be correct. The most famous vampire of all was, of course, created by the Irish novelist Bram Stoker in his iconic Gothic novel Dracula, published in 1897.
