This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

I have an Atari 520st with extra disk drive and monitor
I've not played on it for years and it won't flog on Ebay, I might have to get it all out and have a play on it now, I'm sure I've still got all 3 Gobliiins disks.

My mum
flogged her 1040 STe about two years ago including a whole bunch of professional standard DTP software and more peripherals than you can shake a stick at. Personally I remember it for playing Magic Pockets and Xenon 2. You might have some luck if you can find the thriving underground ST community.

Ohh way back in 94 I think, I'd just started my first proper job aged 19. What did I blow my first wage packet on? A 120mb (yup, a whole 120mb cor) HDD for my 1040STe. IIRC it cost over £600 (my first wage packet bulged a bit due to not having to pay tax on it that month for some reason explained to me by Dave from Payroll, but long since forgotten). I didn't intend to spend that much, but all the smaller (and cheaper) size disks were sold out. The thing is in a 12" metal case, about 1-2" deep, and I still have it somewhere! It was great, I loaded up *all* the monkey island disks, a word-processor whose name I can't remember, and a DTP proggy as well as a stackload of shareware. Bliss!

Money well spent.
