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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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

Not by choice
At work, a large part of the system I use is DOS based. No fancy clicking with the mouse, just using the arrow and letter keys. I can actualy do this pretty quickly, there's next to no load time and once you have it memorised, it goes into muscle memory.

There is also a much newer part of the system, it's mostly used for emails and displaying the DOS system's data without going in.

I'd like to say the DOS system is more reliable and never breaks, but that's not true. It breaks all the time, has random crashes, goes off line and simply refuses to let me do my job. I constantly have to phone people back and remember to update accounts. It's from 1993 and it's simply not relevent any more.
