What were the popular songs, news headlines, the price of bread,
or the top TV show on the day you were born? You can find out at dMarie. Once
at this Web site, you simply enter a chosen month, day, and year, and this free
service will offer a choice of either a "quick" time capsule page
or an "advanced" page that has more in-depth information, including
the names of famous people born on that day of the year, typical consumer prices
from that year, Academy Award winners, and more.
The available data online includes the years 1800 through 2001,
although the Web site cautions that data for the years 1800 – 1875 is probably
"spotty." I don’t normally reveal my age, but I will tell you
that the average American new car cost $1,250 when I was born. Gee, I guess
it really was a long time ago!
