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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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

Up until about 5 years ago
I had one of these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_Mega_PC
It ran windows 3.1, had a MASSIVE 130mb hard drive and a 4xcdrom, not actually sure how that got in there though, I got the thing second hand from Poole borough Council.
When wanting to play something other than solitaire (or frontier actually) I'd slide the panel across on the front and stick a mega drive cartridge in.
Was probably one of the best pcs I've ever had for sheer entertainment value, I was gutted when the ex binned it.

I remember
wanting one of them when I were knee-high to a grasshopper. Might have to have a quick look on ebay actually...
EDIT: Bugger, nothing there.
