I also learned to drive in a three on the tree pick up...That was in 1974, and I've driven a standard (column or floor) ever since. Drives the hubby crazy, because of course the re-sell value isn't as good.
I remember (and can actually still use) a mimeograph, remember fighting with carbon paper in typing class, and while we don't have a rotary phone any more, I do have an 8-track player that still works (and we've got a couple disco cassettes that play in it...)
