(I assume Nickelback takes the role of The Eagles in love-to-hate territory.)

Intel Macs, though obsolete, always seem to be the new kind of Macs to me

Dinosaurs with feathers is always a surprise

Nobody sells boxed computer software anymore, but those boxes that are sized like a thick DVD case (roughly 15x20x3cm) are β€œthe small ones” compared to the old boxes (roughly 21x25x5cm)

I've got a couple of candidates:

* the new Dutch spelling of 1995 that I still disagree with

* Raider being renamed to Twix (1991?)

* Dutch primary school being renamed from "lagere (lower) school" to "basisschool", merged with kindergarten, going from group 1 to 8 (ages 4 to 12) instead of class 1 to 6 (ages 6 to 12) before. 1986, when I went from class 5 to group 8.
