Yes, I'm half joking. Just saying it's hard to believe it's been around that long.

The real fun of having a very modern looking antique is when the kid says, "Wow, who makes these" and I can reply, "Nobody - now. The newest that look like this are 34yo."

Kind of like one of the actors that age so well.

Bruce,

Considering the state of the world today I'm glad I'm 66 and NOT 26!

Oh, Rob. Just like we didn't know things weren't so good, they don't
realize these are not the "good old days". Ignorance is bliss! Sandra

Lessee...

1973 was at the end of a very unpopular war. We had gas lines, free
love, hippies, drugs, Nixon, inflation going nuts, race issues, Cold
War, China, etc.

I'm sure my parents thought it was the end of civilization as they knew it.

The old curse always applies:
"May you live in interesting times".

Kelvin,

Good points!

However, what's wrong with "free love, hippies, drugs" ;-)

Johnny,

Nixon was a fool that thought he could get away with Watergate and as far as foreign policy went one must consider that he had Henry
Kissinger working for him.
