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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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

Case in point
Before I left a tech job, long long ago and far far away, I pulled a couple of ALDs-- Asynchronous Line Driver modems for old time's sake.
These were not the factory-made jobs, these were sleek black anodized channel aluminium cases, sharp as scalpels. With bright blue anodized machined sides with cutouts for cable or 25-pin connectors. I stripped them down, cleaned them, and bolted two sides together, and bolted the two outer sides down.
It sits on my desk and holds my pliers and screwdrivers and works a treat. Especially for slicing the unsuspecting hands of work mates who that have no business touching my tools and pens.
