brillian, being born in 74 i can relate to that totally, i miss the old days life was easier not just because i was young and living at home
as said above technology is ruining kids these days, my 13 yr old daughter is glued to her blackberry and ipod (she does'nt live with me and i did'nt buy her either of them) it can annoy the shit out of me with her constant bbm'ing!!
