The Buffalo Bills are making their second trip to the playoffs in three years, which is making lots of fans nostalgic for the team’s glory days.

Before that trip to Jacksonville, thanks to Andy Dalton’s now-infamous actions, the Bills’ last playoff appearance was in 1999. Things were a little different then.

Take cell phones, for example. The state-of-the-art model at the time was a Nokia phone that allowed you make calls, and maybe send texts, but that’s probably it. Most people still had land lines in their homes.

Forget about using a cell phone for GPS: Smartphones wouldn’t be an option for another few years yet. Instead, people went to Mapquest and printed off directions when they were traveling somewhere new.

Portable music was courtesy of a Walkman or a Discman, which might fit into an oversized pocket.

Instant photos were available only through Polaroid cameras, and they certainly couldn’t be shared online. If you wanted spontaneous photos at a big celebration, disposable cameras were a popular choice, but you had to wait to get the results.

The big songs of 1999 include Britney Spears’ “Baby One More Time” and Lou Bega’s “Mambo Number 5,” along with “Blue” by Eiffel 65, “No Scrubs” by TLC, and “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys.

At the box office, “American Beauty” took home the Oscar for best picture, but the top grossing movie was “The Sixth Sense,” followed by the first “Toy Story,” “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me,” the first installment of “The Matrix” and “Tarzan.”

At home, people were watching the debut seasons of “The Sopranos,” "Law & Order SVU,” “Family Guy,” and “Spongebob Squarepants.” And they were watching in real-time, because streaming TV shows later wasn’t an option for another few years.
