The outdated tech you use (and why)

[The_J]

OP really made me o_O.

The PC I'm currently using is 9 years old and has still a 3'5 floppy drive. Guess that's really outdated. Reason: Can't be arsed to replace it.
I also used a walkman for quite some time (not anymore), but mainly because it also had a radio. Yes, that was before mobile phones.

Less than a year until XP is finally killed off.

That is a seriously hipster phone.

Want. But where's the crank handle?

Here you go:

Ah, how I yearn for the heady days of basking in the technological heat of the semaphore tower!

My Nord Lead 2X is officially outdated considering it's 10 years old and Clavia is coming up with a Nord Lead 4 very soon. That said, I won't be buying NL4 for a good while. Too many priorities come first.

The younger generation will never know the joy of slamming down an old rotary phone in anger.

Is that a new thing? You people have it so good. I'm still using my Samsung galaxy S3 despite the fact all the cool kids have an S4. My mama doesn't love me

No I mean one of those old, non portable phones where you could slam it down on the machine when you were talking to someone and got angry.

I use a non-smartphone phone.

I also use a Melways (a kind of street directory)

I send all my messages this way:

At home, that is.

Out and about, it's a chap in a loin cloth carrying my message in a cleft stick.

(Hmm. There's a real dearth of images of chaps in loin cloths, and cleft sticks. Why's that? I wonder.)
