Lets see.... I remember 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
So that's 8 that I remember.
I guess we were a little behind the times when I was growing up...lol..

I remember the flash bulbs that were cubes. 4 flashes per cube!!
Hell, we even had a toy camera when I was little that had a plastic "pretend" flash cube on top...

Howdy Doody was all re-runs, though...
Several TV stations went to the test screen. And I remember the national anthem when the station went off for the night (that's how you knew you were staying up really late... )
I listened to records before school in the morning and when I came home. Hi-fi was the standard thing. Cassette tapes were kinda pricey, but available. Then they got cheap, so that's mostly what I had when I was young.
A lot of the other stuff was at grandpa's house...
I just turned 29...

and active paper cartridge cassettes where once the PIC was taken

warm it so the bloody thing would develop and you could pull the
wrapper of it ............to see the PIC .........LOL .......funny memories

You will sing "the way we were" and you will like it!! LIKE IT!!!
Every time I hear that song, it makes me think of Tom Hanks in that movie "Big"... LOL..

Sprock, I remember the polaroids, too. We didn't have the older bellows ones (although I know what you mean), we had the newer style ones. The film was really expensive, though, so we barely ever got to use them.

Speaking of cameras and old songs... Remember Kodachrome by Paul Simon?
I've always liked Paul Simon. Used to listen to him a lot growing up because my mom liked him....

Video kinda sucks, but it's a good song.....
