...say the alphabet when you get old?
Because my mum now calls my MP3 player an MPV player and DVDs are now know as discs.
Anyone else have such problems?

Sorry - did I say 142? I meant 63.

Heheheh, how did you get that mixed up?!!
my nan calls dvd's VD's...VD is a STD tho innit?
Betamax sucked ass.
Only the poor kids had Betamax, and you used to hit them.
The casettes were tiny but the machines were enormous. I remember when we got our first video and the amazement at taping something from any of the 3 channels....I feel ancient.
I also remember when tv used to go off air at 11:30ish and Channel 4 being launched.
Bah

I caught mother trying to open our dvd tray with a knife the other day. There was nothing wrong with it. When I pressed the open button and there it popped out, she said "It didnt work for me". oh dear.

I remember our first telly - it was black and white.
I remember our first video - it had a wireless remote control!
I remember my first computer had 32Kb of RAM.
I remember playing Doom on my 486 DX66.
Now *I* feel old.

My parents first video was a Betamax recorded. Smaller that the current VHS I've currently got, smaller tapes and better picture quality. Class machine. I also had a massive amount of videos (copied, not that I'd do that now) for it. All cult classics. Ahhhh, the days.
If you want a bulky Video player, try the ancient Phillips player. Double sided tapes, top loader, and the unit is nearly as big as an Xbox ;)

I remember my nan got a video before us and she played me Convoy. It ruled. The buttons were massive sticky out plungers that you pushed down, much like old tape recorders.
My first console was the Atari, and I loved Night Driver and Outlaw.
Then got a BBC Model B with 32k of memory and that amazed me, Chucky Egg ruled.
I also remember moaning because I had to pay £7.99 to get "The Real Thing" from Parrot Records on cassette.
*sobs*
