that you used in your childhood that today's "youngster's" would wonder what the heck you're talking about.

I'll start:

Audio cassette tapes to tape my favorite songs from the radio.
Metal ice trays that caused freezer burns if not used w/protection

Sony Walkman: they actually gave those to a few tweenies for the device's thirtieth a few years back, and some of the kids failed to work out that they could take the tape out and turn it over.

There's something else involving tapes I was forgetting: loading computer games from them onto an 8 bit micro.
(Though I suspect da yoof would find the fact that these devices used to have their operating systems on a ROM chip and no built in storage memory at all more puzzling still...)

I have a wood stove and a well with a pump. Unless you're talking hand pumped, not electric.

Roller skates with the key to adjust it.
