Jipay Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 My cousin is one of these parents. Her child is only 6 but had 0 interest in toys because he has everything that I have now as an adult. By his 6th birthday (in December) the kid had cable TV, a laptop with broadband Internet, DVD player and an Ipod. He also has an active cell phone. You are kidding right ? tell me you are please :o Well I agree that kids shouldn't have a playstation at 4. I had my first computer at 10 and it had the mirrific amount of 340 mb or harddrive, 2mo of ram and a 33mhz processor. Then i grew up with the technology, learning how to use it to create what I want. I think you can be really creative on a computer, but somebody has to teach you how to use it. Now, of course parents suck, which is good because then our kids can rule the world ! *evil laugh* muahahahahh Quote
Orlego Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 You are kidding right ? tell me you are please :o I really wish I were kidding but it is very true. Well I agree that kids shouldn't have a playstation at 4. Thank You!! I agree. I also think kids should have to work for their first vehicle I had my first computer at 10 and it had the mirrific amount of 340 mb or harddrive, 2mo of ram and a 33mhz processor. Hahaha! I think we had the same computer. The first computer I bought (my third machine, when VGA color monitors were first breaking into the market) with my own money and not just another old business machine from my grandfather Quote

Jipay Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 definitly. To Orelgo : mine was a 386sx and your was obviously 66mhz. Mine was even older ^^ Ahhh the good ms dos commands. :') I think kids needs toys to have good repesentation of the physical world that surrounds us. With computers you only have a virtual approach :/ Quote

With computers you only have a virtual approach :/ Believe it or not but my Packard Hell was a 486 33sx. If I had waited a month I could have got the 66dx for the same price. I felt lost for years without a math co-processor. :P ;) Quote
The Middleman Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Can someone get us a 'nostalgia' forum for these poor folks? ;) Quote
Orlego Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 The only problem is Lego would fall under the nostalgia category for me. Quote
Ras 74 Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 So... put the whole forum under that "nostalgia thing". Wait... it already is... ;) Quote
ApophisV Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Can someone get us a 'nostalgia' forum for these poor folks? ;) LOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Thanks Jay, this really made my evening!! :D :D Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 OK, I vote for 'nostalgia'. As an AFOL, I can definately relate - esp when my 1st computer was an Odysey that played three versions of pong in black & white. Does that count? If not, how about an Atari before they slapped "2600" on it. If that doesn't count, then a Commodore 64 with tape drive. - ok, we're really starting to date ourselves now... I guess I'll just ask the question, when did you last buy a set that had a 2x4 "traditional" brick. Does lego still make these? It's been a while since I can remember building with one. Quote
Jipay Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 The imperial shuttle has many of those. I believe 4 or 5 *satis* Quote
Jipay Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 And this topic should be proclamed 'best off topic ever' Quote

Hey, that was my first computer! I had olympic summer games, olympic winter games and something with Donald Duck sorting fruits!!! :') Quote
Aeturnus Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 a lego rep told me today that viking stores are going to be in stores in the next week or so.pre launch .not in August as I heard. thats what I heard today anyway. Quote

Aeturnus Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Im hoping this information is true aswell.wouldnt want to look stupid heh. (checking stores every couple of days) keep you posted Quote
Vader Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 It would be nice if they did turn up early, but its going to impact on my ep 3 cash :'( Quote
sam89 Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I think it would be good for them to come out right NOW (or sometime this week ;)), so there's still plenty of time before the Star Wars sets come out. Quote
David85 Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 a lego rep told me today that viking stores are going to be in stores in the next week or so.pre launch .not in August as I heard.thats what I heard today anyway. I think what you heard was megablocks. They changed the sets so much that there is no way they could have even made enough sets yet. Quote
snefroe Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 i saw the toyshops in Belgium unpack their new stuff for the next few weeks, today. there was nothing new, except new deliveries of the already released city theme... i think the viking story is wishful thinking... :( Quote
MattZitron Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 If it does, anyone get extra, help a brudda out. Quote
Kynok Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I think this year will be very interesting....Random, I know. Quote
Aeturnus Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I will endeavour to confirm my previous post.Ill make a few phone calls tomorrow. Quote
