Feeling Old in MTG

Not sure where this should go but here I go anyway.
Recently my magic friends and I were talking about spaceships and their ilk over an EDH game. We got going on the topic and they said "The Starship Enterprise is completely the best spaceship ever." Then I go "Both the Spaceship Yamato and the Weatherlight could kick its ass."
No one knew what either of the two ships were. I kinda expected that reaction with the Yamato, but the Skyship Weatherlight? Really??
Has this happened to anyone else? I'd love to hear other stories of feeling old in MTG conversations. It would make me feel better and not feel the only old coot in the system.

I feel old whenever some one casts a planeswalker spell and I yell "Those are not real cards!" Hell I do that with equipment sometimes too, stupid equipment making creature enchantments obsolete, I mean auras...

I was born five months after Alpha was released, man if only I could have picked up the game then.

The Skyship Weatherlight was gerrard and hanna's ride, or maybe hanna was the navigator and Captain Sissay was the captain now that I think about it.I think bosh the golem and mirri hung out on it too for awhile.

The weatherlight is from old MTG stories around stronghold/tempest. It was a ship that could planeswalk.

I think it's Karn, not Bosh, that is on the Skyship Weatherlight.
On topic: when I mention on game obsolete terms like fizzle, global/local enchantment; and tell stories about obsolete rules like ante and artifact abilities "shut off" when tapped.

or when combat damage used the stack. that led to some complex combat tricks with cards with +1/-1 and -1/+1 abilities.

Nah, been playing like six months. Funny thing is, my playgroup's varied enough that I've actually picked up a lot of this stuff just playing with them.
Then I will poke fun at them for going on about it. They will in turn tell me how much of a scrub I am. Fun times are had.

Well, Serra Angel, Force of Nature, and Shivan Dragon were the best creatures in Magic when I started playing... Lol.
