I was 30 and at work. We had a fitness center there with TV's so I ran down there to watch the news coverage. Then everyone at the HQ was allowed to go home. I also remember a day or two later when some fighter planes (F-16's I believe) "scrambling" and raced to O'hare (during the strict zero fly period). I was in my SUV and felt it shake! Some neighbors said it looked like their houses were moving sideways! The planes broke the sound barrier. How old were you when you had your first game console (and what was it)?
