Ok thank you, i have 2 potentials..and they asked me how to join, that's exactly what i told them, but..people still miss it somehow




Do you really want people who miss important details in your wing?




That's my entire wing, Marra. Give us a break, we're old! Respect your elders!!


What was that, did I miss something?

I remember a time when there was no internet, no cell phones, CRT monitors where a craze. Windows 98 was the best OS Ever! Gas was a buck. The only power windows you had was your elbow. You had to be in the house when the street lamps turned on. MTV played music videos! Before that was we had 5 TV channels. REAL Sat. morning cartoons. You didn't need a degree in engineering to work on your car. VCRs where $600. Calculators where (the cheap ones) where $300.
Geez Im an old geezer. I haven't reached the GET OFF MY LAWN! yet but I'm getting close.

Kids these days, have no idea. Their faces are glued to their phones texting to the person sitting next to them.

You're an exception m8. Since you remember the "good 'ole days". As walking up and down the stairs gets tougher and tougher. A phone with text is essential for a happy home, and saving the knees. Right on! lol

Sorry, no can do. This ol' geezer is quite vital to his current Wing, and he's not up for rent or sale

You'll may have to forgive my colleague and my friend CMDR Ryan here. He is quite protective. I am honored and humbled by your invitation, but I must respectfully decline. I am happy and comfortable and it is where I belong.

Best of wishes to you and yours. I have a feeling your wing will grow quickly and have many a good time and a Capital ship full of laughs on your journeys.

Allow me to share one of my all time favorite albums for those ungodly long LS's. Hutton Orbital comes to mind. Fly safe CMDR of Inara.

I remember most of that too, and I'm only 26
Using floppy drives to store youre horrendous homework you wrote on the schools bbc micro, 5 channels of TV, not being able to use the internet and the phone at the same time (although i never had internet till i was 16).
Marvel's saturday morning cartoons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers: Beastwars, what a show!

Five channels? M8, we had only three until the late '90s, not counting Sky of course.

Channels?  We had to scratch cave walls for entertainment.  Do you know how hard it is to draw Optimus Prime with just a sharp rock?

Such a sensitive lad. Wasn't gonna rent him or buy him, dah-ling. He'd fit right in here is all I'm sayin'... Plus I was just joshing.

I would, if you were my elders

I'm Gen-X and proud of it, with a childhood built on a solid foundation of Panda Pops, arcades, Wham bars and skipping ropes
