What obsolete / discontinued hardware do you still cling to?

My main PC is over a decade old and still hangs with the best of em. Been running overclocked at 4GHz for 10 years and it hasn't missed a beat. Still see no reason to upgrade.
My main TV is a Samsung F8500, the last best plasma made. Though I may be upgrading to an LG E8 soon.

The wife uses her iPod classic 5th gen 60gb... Circa 2005 for music in her car..
It's 14 years old now lol and still works fine.

My Laserdisc player and my VHS-Recorder in case I ever want to watch my old Anime collection again.
Ipod Classic 30gb. Also Had one ipod classic 160gb that I had stolen out of my car.
I would still buy ipod classics if they'd made them but I guess ipods are a relic of the past for Apple.

Posted in the Texas Instruments thread but I think this belongs here as well lol.
My trusty TI-82 is still going strong lol. It still comes in useful for work occasionally. My grandparents got this as a present for me when I was at school about 25 years ago. Don't know how much it cost but it can't have been cheap and certainly would have been a lot for them so I could never throw it out.
Still rocking a Titanium HD sound card. Onboard has a long way to go to change my mind too. Got a 14 year old hard drive in my PC as well.
;)
;)
My Lenco L331, which I hope counts despite being mostly mechanical. I do wanna get a Dual at some point in my life, but this thing has done a great job at playing records.
OP, are you me? I have a white 30GB Zune with the leather case that I have used weekly since 2010. Still going strong, software is cool too.
I just found out my TI-92 is discontinued and probably has been for a long time. So I guess that.
I actively used my Zune 80 up until I accidentally sent it through the washing machine last week, ;___;
I've ordered a replacement, but I also want to get my original one working. I've performed Zune necromancy before, I think I can pull it off again.

Great OP. I'm an Apple guy, so I never had a Zune. I do remember Microsoft getting a lot of flak about the brown Zune, I still think it looks great! I wonder what one would cost now...
Oldest thing I'm still using is probably my car stereo. It's a 2003 Subaru with a tape deck and CD changer. The reason I keep it, is it also has a weather radio (good luck finding that in a new system!). I also have a cassette to 3.5 adapter that goes into a bluetooth adapter. I get the best of new and old, it works great!

Whew, lots of things.
- iPhone 4s is my current phone
- HP EliteBook 8440p is my current laptop
- I drive a 1998 Ford Explorer
- I carry a Panasonic Microcassette Recorder everywhere I go (Baby Driver made this cool but people think I do it because of the movie now)
- I still get the newspaper every day.
I still use a lot of older stuff occasionally such as retro video game systems and other electronics. I generally don't like replacing things unless they're broken or I actually need to upgrade.
My main laptop is a 5 year old Thinkpad X250. Also my desktop is using a case from 2004, and also has a few of the original case fans.
If cars count, I daily drive a 1986 Volvo 240 that has around 413k miles(660k km) on it. I'll never get rid of it.
Nice. I like the TI-82, but its a model you never see anyone else use. I ended up buying one off Ebay as a back up calculator to keep in my backpack. Sadly it only lasted 5 months before it died.
My TI-83 plus that I bought used in 2001 is still going strong though.

Mine also has a bunch of Mayhem albums on it, OP. lol
(oops; hit reply instead of edit. my bad)
Yup, the best. I just can't get into storing and searching for music on my phone either. I love just clicking on the ipod and scrolling to the artist and songs i want
My Cowon J3 music player. I owned it since grade school and I'm not changing it anytime soon. I've only had to replace the charging cable as it was a little bent, but it's been flawless ever since and every music file I've thrown at it works. I love the fact you can change songs using the physical buttons which is something modern phones all lack.
I still have my PS3 hooked up for the occasional The Last of Us multiplayer session. I've heard good things about the PS4 version being 60fps and with better graphics, but I'm not paying $250 for the console on top of a yearly subscription just for one game.
