prompted by the QOTW
and everyone's happy reminicenses I dug out a lot of the old gadgets I've held onto:

Sony Discman - in a box for 5 years, turns out it's busted. Binned it.

LG MP3 player with 32 MB of memory space... works fine, but unfortunately I can't use the original drivers which were designed for Win 2000 at the last update. Not even on my old desktop using XP. So stuck forever with the same 20 songs by a band I no longer like.

Desktop - fired it up and promptly blew the graphics card. Dug around and managed to find a previous card that I hadn't thrown away but now I can't play any games more advanced than pre 2000.

Desktops speakers - 15 years old and only one speaker works...

I have one laptop running without the bottom cover as it was rubbing against the fan, causing it to grind to a halt and letting the machine overheat in 20 minutes.

My phone is 5 years old and I still have all my original phones as well... just in case.

I just realised this stuff is just taking up space and I need to throw things away/ recycle/freecycle some stuff. Any offers?

Windows 2000 drivers usually work on XP
You could run 2000 inside VMware though.
