Yes, I messed up, correct it now...0
I added 21. Owned a stock certificate from a stock broker.If you have more than zero (0) point, you might be too young to be here
Is anyone old enough to buy stocks and T+5 later, your broker calls you to collect your stock certificate from his office? 1 share 1 cert.
All Brittanica

I have a full 20. Interestingly enough these are clients we deal with that still insist on using Faxes.
Oh crap, I got zero and I can't believe it. I thought I'd have one over you @Karbon74 and instead I'm just in shock 
Oh man, you can add another on there. Lived through the VHS and Betamax war 
How true! We had the World Book at home, and when we needed more information, we would go to the local library which had the Britannica. An abundance of riches!
I got a big fat zero and it reminded me of taking final exams which brought the cold sweats and tears. Thanks Pika and I will forward my psychologist bill to you from now on.

Girlfriend loved Diet Coke and McDonald's and for her 17th birthday I bought two stocks back in 89 and asked the broker to send the certificates to me so I could get them framed.

I remember taking my Year 12 final exams in 1977 and being told that for Maths and Physics i could only bring a slide rule, and the school will provide log tables.
I did the same! Tiffany before privatized, I bought 1 stock and framed it for my future wife.
Believe it or not, there are German government departments nowadays that still only accept faxes but not emails...
18 of these are things I’ve done, meaning 2 points, and I haven’t cracked 40.
I’ve done some of these things lately.
I still send postcards because I like to, and the bureaucracy of certain facets of both developed and undeveloped countries still runs on faxes.

I love the refusal of older Germans, especially bureaucrats, to acknowledge technology.
I have a family connection to a German politician who doesn’t pay by card as he doesn’t want to be tracked by “them”, but sends me TikToks via WhatsApp with his phone…
Well all 20 pointe yes
Easy for me because I am from 1951
Gentlemen, look at things this way, you aren't old, rather you are mid century modern.
And yes, zero points for me.
