fer_sure@reddit

As a Canadian, I have, however, paid with a paper cheque, so I've only got the 1 point from the Valkman. Only brand name Sony portable music devices for me.

0 technically, but does it count if it was a kids encyclopedia set and not a regular one? If no, then 1.

[-]

arnpjb@reddit

No, I wish! It was just a boring set of encyclopedias that had illustrations and kid friendly, short explanations. There were 6 or 8 in the set.

0 if we're not counting the typo.
To add insult to injury, things in my house right now because my husband hordes old technology:
Floppy discs, typewriter, film camera, cds, tapes, vinyl records, a big ass ghetto blaster, vhs tapes, paper maps, paper checks.

1 - Cheques. I remember my mum having a cheque book when I was a kid, but by the time I got my first bank account in '97, everything was already card, so I never had one myself.

My condo association doesn't take online payments, so I have to pay by check.

BritOnTheRocks@reddit

I still pay a whole bunch of bills by cheque, never got out of the habit. Not particularly looking to change that now that all these online services charge convenience fees.

Grand-Fun-206@reddit

My own kids, 10yo and 13yo, get 7 points each.

Does it count if you had Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? It came with an encyclopedia I think.

[-]

johnnypalace@reddit

I thought it was an almanac

[-]

shakeyshake1@reddit

You’re right! Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? did come with an encyclopedia though. I must have mixed them up.

Godawgs1009@reddit

We never owned an encyclopedia.

2.

I've never used a typewriter (for its intended purpose... just played with the buttons on my Dad's old one.)

And I went straight to using a debit card instead of ever getting a check book.

mnemonikos82@reddit

Wait? Do people not use paper checks anymore?

[-]

Glittering_Rush_1451@reddit

Very rarely do people use paper checks anymore but I’ve never seen anyone pay with paper chick

[-]

mnemonikos82@reddit

I work with too many independent contractors that refuse to use online services, so we pay in paper checks occasionally.

1 Point to poor to have a home encyclopedia growing up.

IdioticPrototype@reddit

I had a digital encyclopedia, I think it came as freeware with a PC in the early 90s.

What kind of slop is this?.Couldn’t even get the numbering and spelling right. Sheesh.

[-]

PurpleCatBlues@reddit

Yeah, what happened to 14, 15, and 16? I mean, I've never been great at math and I'm getting older, but counting to 20 is something I'm fairly certain I can still do.
