I too can easily remember a time when we had two TV channels, one Norwegian and one Swedish.
I remember the coming of the Scandinavian channel TV3 (which started out the same for the 3 Scandinavian countries, but ended up with one for each after some years). I remember MaxSat, their kids' show hosted by one Norwegian girl and two boys (Danish and Swedish), and how at the end of the day's schedule, they'd play snippets of all 3 national anthems. I always liked watching that.
I remember well when we got our next 2 Norwegian channels, TVN and TV2.

I remember when Mr. Kekkonen was elected the fifth time for the Finnish president. The country was nicknamed Kekkoslovakia.

I remember back when VHS tapes were still used, and when we still used CRT computer monitors. Ahh... those were the good times... :)

I remember when floppy disks were used in computers. I remember playing SimCity 2000 on a floppy disk.

I remember when in order to play a computer game you had to have the CD in the computer.

I don't really remember seeing floppy disks, but I do remember CDs and CD-ROMs as well. :D

I remember when Art Bell was the host of the creepy night time radio show called Coast To Coast AM, and I also remember when the show was taken over by George Noory after original host Art Bell quit & returned to the show multiple times.

I remember the floppy disk well.

I remember when we got our first computer. I didn't see much point in it seeing as we already had a couple of typewriters.

I remember when we got our first video. I was 9 and it was fairly new here. It felt like such a revolution to be able to play movies independently of our 2 TV channels.
