I still shoot film and I still have a record player.

First smart phone was an iPhone 5S.

Guess my age?

I owned computers before this, but I remember buying my first PC, a 286, at a flea market for $20 with a coffee can full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.

I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.

TBF, I quit my job when I saw that going down, and moved to the other coast days later.
