Oh, you mean the 3d printed save icon? That's youngster stuff...
My dad's first computer didn't have a hard drive, so I guess I'm even more "old skool" with things like DOS commands and Lotus123?

Sean, you're making me feel old. MY first computer didn't have a hard drive. An old Vic128 (predecessor to the Commodore 64, which I also had (and, may still have in my parents attic))

Used to use a TI Silent 700 with the ear muffs to talk to our phone systems remotely. Started out at 300 baud and then went to 1200. We were farting thru silk at that speed.
The early voicemail systems came with 4MB hard drives that were around 24" square and 8" wide. Not light by any means. A full system would have 7 of them for storage.

His was an IBM PC model 5150... I was 3 when he brought it home to do his PhD analysis. We were so poor after he quit gradschool that we didn't upgrade the family computer until 1996.

Fun stuff !! Got to work with that crap with some of our old school accounts who insisted on their 6 button key phone with our PBX analog lines. It took them a while but the soon learned that MAC work took about 1/10 the time.
I realized I was old when I was discussing the favorite movies of our youth with a group of 20somethings at work and not a single one of the 6 guys I was talking to had ever heard of The Never Ending Story. Made me a little sad inside.

That’s funny, I had a commodore 128 growing up, and it’s still in my parents attic. I just saw it the other day. Only thing that was good for was games...lol
Waits for light sabre jokes....

I started being aware of my age the first time I saw a cop and thought "that guy is too young to be a cop"....
But it was totally confirmed when I sneezed while tying my shoe and thought I might need to call in sick due to the subsequent back pain!
One more example . Years ago when we got off night shift, we would go to this one bar that opened at 7 am Wednesday mornings, for all the guys getting off night shift. Now when I get off night shift, I don't stay up all day partying. I go to bed like I'm still working nights. Then when I wake up at 3pm, I stay up for a few hours, then go back to bed and sleep until 4 or 5 am. BAM! Get a weeks worth of sleep in 24 hours!
Yah, that's an old man move....
