What about this baby?



I have one sitting on my desk, right next to an Indy :smug:

The monitor cable is in shambles though, I need to re-solder the connector back on. And my awesomely huge 9GB SCSI drive died, so I need to buy a new one at some point.

Also one of those old treadle type sewing machines, very similar to this one:



They don't have all the features you'll find on a modern machine, but they still do a lot of jobs perfectly well.

My mother has one of those in her living room. I don't think she uses it anymore, but it sure does look nice still.

I GET IT. THEY ARE NOT OBSOLETE. :arghfist::eng101:

One thing I haven't seen in a long time are automatic doors triggered by rubber entry pads on the ground. Everything seems to be on a motion sensor now. Those pads seemed pretty cool when I was a kid.

You haven't been to enough small towns, especially industrial focused ones. A lot of them still have stores with those in place, because it'd be expensive to replace.
