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 have a large collection of game consoles, with several being older than myself. Just to list the ones that are at least 20 years old:
I also have some old A/V stuff, like a small collection of CD Walkmans and most of the pieces in my stereo system (the turntable is new, but everything else is pretty old). I buy a lot of old electronics from thrift stores because I really just love playing with them.
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.
You have a WonderSwan Color? That’s so cool, I always wanted one.
It is a neat little machine. Mine’s orange and I modded it with an IPS screen (because I’ve been spoiled by modern backlit screens). My main reason for buying it was for Klonoa.
