No, I didn't actually have YouTube videos in high school, I had whatever the internet at the time used for the same purpose. DivX and real player videos downloaded over the phone line, and AOL messenger for chatting. That's why I didn't say "I" and used the generic "you".

I'm not that far out of my mental prime, I'm just far enough that I'm noticing it.
