All except boombox (I certainly heard music on boomboxes, but I never owned one and can't recall using one). And I can't recall ever sending a postcard, though I have received them and have bought them as keepsakes.
I spent a lot of time recording 'mixes' on boomboxes.. and god help the fucking DJs that talked over the music. To this day it makes me not wanna talk over music.
How to play the game: Take the introductory offer of 12 CDs for a penny. Fulfill your obligation to buy 5 CDs at regular price during a promotion when the CDs are offered at discount prices AND count toward your obligation. When your obligation is met, quit the club. Then the club will come crawling back, offering you 12 more CDs for a penny.
All of the above except AOL! LOL I’m ancient! We used the AOL disks as coasters or just wiped them and put our own files on them. Free floppy was still a free floppy! LOL
I had AOL and Compuserve accounts. I never got to play on an Atari and prevented from doing anything with Columbia house. Never got into MySpace.

: Yes, way too many CDs in the mail.
I did all but 2.. we did not have Columbia House and i never had cheques... (we also did not have Blockbuster but other rental places so i substituted that).
All of them, though the first time I got vinyl albums from Columbia House... yes, I'm that old, I didn't actually order them. I don't know who did, but they used my name. I still have some of them.

: not me. I conveniently informed them that I’ve “moved”. LOL Dodged all the letters requesting the money and then signed up again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

: our credit union changed their name (but not their routing number) right after I bought a box of checks. I didn't write that many checks so that box, with the wrong name, lasted us probably 6 years. LOL I am cheap, I am not wasting that $36. They never complained and always honored the checks lol
I also have one single book of checks now, because the kids occasionally needed money for something at school and it was easy to send a check. Also, for whatever reason, the company that services our sprinkler system doesn't take cards, so we send them checks. We joke that they're a money laundering service and lawncare is a front.
I called my credit union branch and they said a new book would be $50. They recommended that I didn't get one. They also promised to computer print 6 blank checks (2 sheets) fur free - as many times as I wish. Have done it once. Still have 4 of the furst print.
I signed up for it relatively late in its popularity. I started connecting with friends, and one of them immediately said, "MySpace is out, Facebook is in, get a Facebook account."
