Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

If you had decent hardware for Vista, it ran like a champ. Those who upgraded from xp running on base specs had a hard time

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).

Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn't carry it yet. It was glorious every time.
