Default Feeling Old?

I was sitting here and starting thinking about how life was when the computer world was much smaller. Does anyone remember:

2400 baud modems
14.4 baud modems
300 baud modems

Dialing up to a "BBS" where we do basically what we do now on various "homepages", but at a slower and much more non-graphical manner

Apple II+ or IIe computers

When references to non-Apple computers was "and IBM based computer" versus "PC based computer"

That big orange power switch on the back/side corner of IBM computers

5.25" floppy disks

Green or amber monitors

The Macintosh commercial (a la George Orwell's book, 1984) that was shown during the Super Bowl

Choplifter

When 3D games were new - Dragon's Lair

When Attari still owned Chuck E. Cheese Pizza and they had all the best games and didn't have that stupid plastic ball thing kids jump and play in these days
