Redundant technologyMusic 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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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 use telnet* every day at workit's still a very useful diagnostic tool
*Admittedly not using port 23, rather port 80 mainly and a little bit of 390, 51646, 5301 and even some 443.

Exactly...Any IT security employee worth their salt will use telnet and a DOS command prompt/Terminal on a daily basis. Frankly, I'd be wary of hiring one who doesn't...
Just because the days of telnet-ing into a BBS to get your porn fix are over, doesn't mean it's outdated - it just means fewer teenagers actually learn how the Internet actually works...

Aye..I've got no issues with Telnet as a technology, it still (in 2010) has a hell of a lot of useful applications. But letting conference delegates and students change their password and get on the wireless is clearly not one of them.
