Yes! Sorry about that... Although there was a grey/brown/sludge colour that was worse than avocado. Real avocados though were rarer than avocado bathroom suites.

I went up them twice. Once, they tossed my pocketknife in a basket (full of pocketknives) they kept behind the metal detectors to reclaim when we finished. America is fucking weird

Old enough to know questions like this are often used for doxxing purposes, young enough to have so little to live for that I just simply don't care.

I remember rotary phones, Saturday morning cartoons, slap bracelets, and a time when there was ONE home videogame system.

Computer class had modules on (MS-)DOS, Lotus 123, Wordstar, and GW-BASIC. The succeeding years, we were taught Turbo Basic, Turbo Pascal, and Turbo C. In the final year, we had HTML and CSS.

There's a region in my brain still devoted to a few Wordstar keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+KC, ctrl+KK, ctrl+Y) but it's degraded enough that I couldn't remember what they're for.

Oh, Tetris on handhelds was the craze when I was in primary school. They were called by a different name though (copyright reasons, perhaps) but the generic name was "Brick Game".

EDIT:

Typos, missing punctuation and other mistakes.
