    We had a small collection of VHS Disney movies. I remember how excited I was when we finally got the Star Wars movies on VHS.
  • Rabbit Ears

    In order to watch broadcast television (never had cable), we had to use rabbit ear antennae. If I was lucky, we could get a strong signal on Star Trek: The Next Generation, or maybe the Simpsons!
