I know some people still swear by their old iPods or film cameras. For me it’s a 15 year old Western Digital external HDD. Do you have any older gadgets or tech that you refuse to let go of?

    I’m hurt that you have no Atari.

    No, wait, I’m hurt that you said some are older than you and you have nothing from before I was 14 or so.

    No, wait, I’m hurt because I’m old and my joints ache.

      I am sorely lacking in Atari. I would’ve had one if my grandparents hadn’t thrown out my dad’s 2600 when they were cleaning out their attic.

      I’m only a little older than Saturn and PlayStation (based on their Japanese release dates). I get what you mean though. It’s definitely weird when you realize that there are adults that have never experienced the things that were integral aspects of your own childhood. I have cousins who’ve never used a VCR, meanwhile I still have the one our grandfather bought me in the late 90s.
