Old tech found in drawers...

[SlimRick]

This has been in my desk for many years - it used to travel everywhere with me.

A hi-tech trio from late 90's to early 00's all freshly plucked from my desk draw!

Got home to find the kids had found this in the back of a cupboard...

[Cfnteabag]

The old laptop reminds me that my wife has one in the loft with an external floppy drive, we are moving soon so will post uo pics when it makes an appearance

That reminds me; I used to have the Ericsson T28s back in 2001 and I thought it was the dogs. It was so small.

6 years ago I bought one from eBay, determined to start using it again. It worked fine but with the aerial in place it was actually no smaller or thinner than a modern phone of 2010, the keys were tiny, the reception dubious, entering text was a chore and and the display was pitiful.

Still, it was great at the time.

Not in my drawer, but I still use a Psion-5 as my alarm clock - it's above the bed, on a mantlepiece (the bed is in the [unused, of course!] fireplace).

If that iPod is first gen it's worth 2k+, even the old nano's are £4-500.

Old man still has a Betamax recorded in his loft!

When were these things in use (before my time!)

[PositronicRay]

Wow, I've a silver 4gb 1st gen nano, sits in the draw occasionally I use it in the car.

For retro value...



And not particularly old, but funny to see how far things have come, still unused

Remember when AOL used to send you free trial CDs? Well before that they were on floppy disk, whatever happened to Pipex?

OMG I co-wrote that software! Not seen those disks for a long time now. To answer the question of where is PIPEX. It got sold to Tiscali who sold it to Talk Talk and I believe it still exists as a sub brand.

Didn't they run those Hasselhoff adverts about ten years ago?

Sadly yes we did. We even sponsored Fulham FC.

Forgot all about this....

Mint in box with all accessories and car charger too. Cost a lot in the day for the Sony Mars Bar phone.

There's probably some mad man out there rocking his 28.8k connection for his BBS boards.

If you fancy a souvenir from your past, I'd happily send the disks.
