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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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

Minidisc
I also have minidisc (but unhappily weening myself off), really a great music format of its time but hampered by the curse of betamax, better than alternative technologies but not ahead of the curve enough to be a game changer. I only recently took my 6x MD changer out of the car (8 years service, until the head unit died) but miss it dearly, Oh well at least I have a MD walkman & deck to keep my MD library alive.

Minidisc
Inherited mine off my son when he discovered Apple, and all things iTunes. I have around 100 albums from the nineties, all classic indie stuff!

Sampling in 1845!
Will happily take your Ibanez on holiday if it needs a change of scenery.

Ibanez
Sorry, it belongs to my son. Bought it second hand, had it restored by an ace luthier, researched it on t'interweb to discover it was made the month and year that he was born.
It's going nowhere, except to the amplifier every now and again!
