A few pages back, but I still have this exact one. 128mb of choice video game music and 80s hits are still on it, unchanged, from '02.

As for the shellac 78 chat, I have two crates full of those from the 1920s-50s. Mostly big band stuff and an oddly large amount of mariachi recordings owned by my great grandparents.

I still use my Lyra from time to time - the thing is almost bullet-proof, although a bit picky about batteries. Now I tend to use Bluetooth headphones, though, so it has seen less use lately.

Just get a Logitech G9x or something, plain black save for a couple red LEDs and not trying to look like a sea monster or some poo poo (looking at you Razer).

I have a Realistic clock radio that I bought in early 1979 with paper route money. It was cool to have an FM radio in my room! It still works great.

Not really "outdated", but surprised that it's still working. My main computer mic since Guitar Hero: World Tour came out has been a guitar hero mic. Actually not that bad of a mic.

That's right bitches. Late 70s computer hardware with 4 controller ports.

I don't have MULE yet though. I'm not sure the NES port counts. :smith:

I guess my turntable, SL-D2 from some time in the 70s. was using a small AM transistor radio my Dad got when he was a kid but then set up a stereo in my room and gave it back to him. can't live without my AM talkback, I see all of the world's events through the opinions of elderly folk

apart from that a bunch of poo poo from the 80s/90s like my laserdisc player and minidisc for recording stuff from records (hiMD recording to PCM is pretty good, so much so that I "found" the DAT players that went missing from my old job and gave em back)

Just like Mama used to make it!
I have an old clock that my grandparents bought in the 40s. The chime brings back memories and I recently inherited it from my Dad.

I have a Sony tc-366 reel to reel tape deck that I've used since I was a kid.

Until recently I had a computer from TigerDirect that I bougtht in 1997 and ran on a 133Mhz Cyrix CPU.
