It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.
Three. Would have been two but I was a member of Video Ezy. I also just learned if you start a sentence with a number Sync autocorrects it to a numbered list.

1.... Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn't have one where I lived but I have rented videos.
I'm gonna say that counts. They shouldn't have specified a specific rental place.
Late 20s - 2 points
5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it

I've owned a dictionary and an encyclopedia.
Hello officer? I'd like to report a suspicious person in my retirement community!

I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?
1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.
For "listened to a boombox outside," does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I'm either 0 or 1.
- Never owned a whole encyclopedia.
But probably -1 for not only rotary phone but "party line"; sometimes you couldn't use the phone because someone else, in another house, was using that line.
Two points. Wtf would I send a postcard? I also don't believe I've ever sent a fax, though I may have gone to an office supply store to have that done to a business and don't recall.
1 point. Never used a boombox. And yes, I have written a check at a store while people waited in line behind me. Their cold angry stares still haunt me.

But only because we pay in cash and block buster was never a thing here.
I have touched a type writer but never used it for writing letters or whatever you write with it.
I just sent a fax a few days ago....
I never owned a walkman or discman but my older sister had a discman and I got one of the first mp3 players xD.
I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.
Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?
21: had to wait for the television to warm up

I got zero.
