   I scored ONE POINT!

   (I never used Blockbuster. Indeed, I never rented a video. For most of the period when video rentals were a thing, I didn't own a TV, never mind a VCR. To this day, I've never used Netflix. I've watched one episode via AppleTV+, and that's my total streaming media experience.)

     Dang, I was hoping to get at least ONE.

     No Blockbuster in Sweden. One point.

     I did rent VHS tapes and NES cartridges from the local tobacconist.

     The first facsimile system was patented in 1843, and the first commercial service started operating in 1865. Scanning fax machines started in 1880.

     Your call.

     @cstross I feel this is unfair. I used a fax machine last month. They're in common use here. Using one does not make me old.
