If you hear someone describe a "turn of the century" home or a "turn of the century" map or "turn of the century" toy, what time frame do you envision? Is it ...

1900 (aka "the cast iron version") or
2000 (aka "the digital version")?

I'll ask this by age group, segmenting it by people who have spent a majority of their life before 2000 versus after 2000.

Your wallet only has a $100 bucks in it?
