I think about 80% of the class (not to mention the professor) immediately crumbled to dust they felt so old.

Geez, '96? That's not young, that's clueless. I mean, I understand when a group of jr. high aged kids
this year walked into a room in Chicago's MCA with a floor tiled with LPs and, when asked what they thought they were, responded, "CDs?" But someone old enough to be in library school in the mid-late 90s? I'm likely younger than that person and I grew up with LPs.
