See, I hate that list because about a quarter of the items always reference the year you were born. No one remembers shit from the year they were born. I don't personally remember anything about Mt. St Helens exploding or hostages being freed, etc., just people talking about it. I would be not even a full fifth of students entering college this year could tell you who Rodney King was and maybe only half would remember an Apple II. Hell, I was born in 1980 and grew up in rural North Carolina and I never even used an Apple II.
