3. The one that really got me was Goosebumps.
I started reading because of Goosebumps. I remember mom was too tired to read to me one night but I wanted to know what happened next so I just picked up the book and off I went. I've been wondering what happened with that series...

5. I LOVED Goosebumps
I had a couple dozen of those books. Heh, I actually had to keep myself from buying a bunch of them at a flea market last month.

12. Yep, me too, at least I know what a floppy disk is.
From the land of Rotary Phones and Black and White TV's, that was pretty hilarious.

"Old" is sneaking up on me but I'm still 18 on the INSIDE!

16. Who bothers clicking icons anyway?
The shortcut, ctrl+s is faster.

19. A lot of people do.
The shortcut is faster if your fingers are on the qwertyboard. If you're using the mouse the icon is faster.

;) (Sorry, didn't mean to piss on your snob routine.)

17. It shouldn't. The *floppy* disk icon, on the other hand, might.

10. I know your moniker charlie and algernon
What the hell? I know you know you posted the the most idiotic trends/icons of the past. It seems we can't learn from history, but, like most, I have learned to be amused by it.
