Imagine a time when you didn't know if your pictures came out for days or weeks after you took them. Imagine only being able to take a limited number of pictures at one time before having to change film. Imagine having to store your pictures in huge binders in order to see them. If that sounds like photo hell to you then you are obviously not a GenX'er! It was the way pictures were done when we we...

Horror movies really came into their own when we were growing up in the 70s and 80s. Many of these movies have become the standard and sparked a huge number of sequels.

We were still working out the kinks of our new audio system so please bear with us and we will be up to our u...

There's probably not a GenX'er out there who wasn't somehow impacted by the introduction of the Sony Walkman. The ability to carry the music you want to hear and listen to it wherever you go was seen as nothing short of a miracle in technology.

So back in a GenXer's younger days, we knew the value of a good education. The first thing we did when we got home was study and do our homework....... BWA-HA-HA-HA!
