2 points, fuckers!
I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.
0 point gang rise up.
But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.
I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?

2 points, but only because we don't have blockbuster where I'm from, I have rented movies though. I have also never used a check to pay for anything.
1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler's cheques :)
Same.
1 point, only because my parents never bought an encyclopedia set. They were absolutely a thing when I was a kid. I definitely used one before, but never owned them. Hooray for being old I guess.
I wasnโt sure if my parents owning an encyclopedia set qualified me for the point or not.
But then I remembered I owned the Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia CD. Did you own that?

1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.
Two: I am missing the boombox experience, and Blockbuster never made it to my country.

who listens to boomboxes outside? jerks
I did once...
I never sent a fax though.
In college, I played lacrosse. My teammate bought a Bluetooth 80's style boombox to play in the bus on trips and to set the vibe coming off the bus and play music During warmups at away games. Honestly that thing was great. Outside of that particular context? Yeah, pretty shitty thing to do lol.
13 points for me.
I've never actually owned a set of encyclopedias.
I own one, and I have read it.
I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.
Edit: So looked it up and apparently CDs had been around for ages, but my parents bought me stuff on cassettes instead. Maybe it was second hand.
Another reminder of the past - Limewire. Anyone also remember Napster?
4 points. Being a 90's baby, got to do a fair number of these.
8 points! 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 20
i'm in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i've never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i've ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.
