Wasn't Unity released *before* Windows 8?

Yes, after googling it. A netbook edition with Unity was floated out in
2010. The phone (RIP) got Metro in 2011 followed by Windows 8. I knew they
were in response to phones/netbooks/tablets but didn't remember the exact
sequence.

At work I sometimes start sentences with 'Some number of years ago..' 
I've never been good with timelines unless it's tied to something like 'I
was driving the Firebird' that ties it down to 1982 - 1986.

I'm not always good at timelines either. Especially as I've gotten older. I
notice that I remember things that happened four or five years ago as
happening a year or two back instead. It's like time is compressing.

Also, like you, I figure timelines by using "where was I and what was I
doing?" and try to tie the date to something specific.

I find myself telling the "kids" at work things, and then realize they have no
idea who <somebody like Andy Griffith> is.

Remember LSMFT?

A couple days ago I was googling for the song sung (to the tune of "Johnny
Comes Marching Home) for a Tecmatic razor blade.

Didn't find it. But found a shitload of "racy" Noxema shaving commercials.

"Cream your face!"  :-D
