You Know You Are Old When

You know you are old when you try to tell somebody you can't listen to rock and roll on a cell phone!

Exactly. Everyone knows you need a stack of components in a glass-front floor-standing cabinet, about chest high, and at least one pair of enormous 3-way speakers the size of small filing cabinets.

Put The Wall on the turntable, turn up the volume, and turn down the lights...

I've got one of those set-ups! Add in a 8 track reel to reel tape deck!

I'm starting to think here some of you guys still have plaid polyester pants in your closets

I still have my deep corduroy purple bell bottom pants. I could be heard walking in them 100 yards away, but don't think they fit anymore with a 24" waist.

lol...

I still have big speaker stacks, but they're touring / stage speakers, since I was in a band and my house was the practice studio. The big home stereo has been replaced by a cluster of WiFi streaming amplifiers wired to about 40 tiny speakers scattered throughout the house, porches, and patios.

Don't think so, but until last year I still had a full USAF uniform hanging there for no reason other to remind me how much thinner I used to be. Been there through many homes over the last 40 years. Funny what you do hang on to over time.
Then again I have some tools from my teens.

Just noticed I have some military boots from those days I wear when all else is too wet to wear.

I have at least four sets of stereo speakers stored away as the power units all gave up the ghost (cd player stopped working etc.), I kept all the speakers thinking I wire them up through out the place one day

Ya right it's like all wireless BT speakers now along with online streaming and satellite radio. I just replaced my SUV and no more CD player.

My state of the art CD collection is pretty much boxed away.
Gone the way of old vinyl it seems.
