So my VCR just ate my freaking VHS of Office Space. :(
Do you still use any appliances or other such things that have been phased out by more advanced variations. I still make ice cubes in trays because I don't have one of those water/ice dispensers in my refridgerator, and I've got both an electric and analog can opener, but I prefer using the analog. ;)
I love ice cube trays. We have an electric ice cube dispenser, but it just spills ice everywhere, so the tray is just better. :D
My printer is an old piece of junk but I still use it.
Ice Cube Trays, a fifteen year old microwave, a very old VCR, and quite possibly the most obsolete item in my house, a computer with Windows ME edition installed. But I don't use it.
My office uses Telexes instead of e-mails....
Parts for my car are rare.... even if it is *only*.... ten years old
Does an NES and Game Boy colour count?
A 15 year old microwave, that sounds safe :p We get a new one about every 4 to 5 years or so....Quote:

Finally some one who doesn't have the stick up there butt ...but has it three feet away from the microwave and probabally about 4 feet away from there butt....well as long as the stick stays there I say to keep the microwave . Keep it your a better person with it.
When your skin turns green and your hair falls out though I think Id stop trusting the old thing....
This body is obsolete and must be destroyed... I WILL BECOME SIN AND RID HUMANITY OF HUMANITY, THE ONLY THING IN HUMANITY'S WAY.
Technology is not often associated with organic evolution as being the same thing...interesting....Quote:

Are you hinting at something?Quote:

They're not strictly the same thing, but technology does naturally and logically follow after a sufficient level of biological evolution has been reached (ie opposable thumbs, the capacity to empathise, language skills, all that jazz). In the next few decades, we will be obsolete as biological entities.Quote:

My TV downstairs and my sega master system. Man the first streets of rage on that rocked and also Sonic, legend sonic.
in my room.... hmmm
an internet connection that requires a wire?
I have a really old tv and it makes really loud noises like eeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrtttttttt.I hate it. :mad2:
I have a TV that's older than I am, but it's unplugged.
That sounds cool . How old is it. I bet it uses tubes?Quote:

i have a 28" tv in my living room.. its 10 years old now but my mum knows nothing of technology.. then i go to my dads house and hes got his media center pc hooked up to a 50" plasma.. its not fair.. i only get a 17" on my media center pc lmao
media center ftw :P
Toilet Paper. I mean, what the fork!?? All this technology and we still have to use wads of paper to... uhm.. yeah.
How much longer must we wait for the three sea shell trick to come out. smurf proctor and gamble.
I also have a 133 mhz pentium pro. It runs a slack linux only server nicely. Other than that, I have no out dated technology - I don't even have a cell phone /flex.
I have a heater in my room that I found when I moved into my house 14 years ago, SOB break down on me a few weeks ago though :(
I use a keyboard which is approaching 10 years old. Thankfully I use optical mice now.
Anyway:
- I own a cd audio player (instead of mp3 cd player)
- I own one of those alarms that ring once every 12 hours because it's analog
- We have manual water filter installed by the sink even though we also have the fridge water filter / ice maker
- my brother uses a 10 year old pentium 3. I think we might need to upgrade him to a better computer when vista comes out, but we'll see
No rotary phones, no manual can openers (we own one but don't use it)...if I think of any I'll post again.
I use a type writer as a keyboard and a piece of cheese is my hardrive and a hamster runs the power...
LOL
J/K
Im not really sure.... I use a NES sometimes... and Icetrays, not usually VCR's but only when we are watching a movie that is old before we had a DVD player....
Oh God! Thanks for calling out your joke. I thought you were running a mac there for a second.Quote:

Outside toilet ftw.
Ice cube trays because our ice maker just decided to quit working. We also have a rotary telephone in our kitchen.
I have a old rotary phone :( I r teh poor and I have no vhs or dvd and hell we don't even have a microwave in this damn appartment :(
Tons of stuff. PC, PS1, CD player, VCR's, Old TV's. Face it, I still get hours of entertainment from them all so why would I throw them away?
Becareful with those outside toilet - 7 people just died in one outhouse related incident:Quote:

I still use ice-trays etc etc.
Im still using one of those old monitors with the huge back, and my TV is older than I am. It was the first TV my parents bought when they was married, and they bought a new one a few years ago, and the Sanyo is now in my room. Its 20" but ancient xD

We only have one computer in my whole freakin house and its older than i am! I HATE THIS COMPUETR!
Great now i have a bad feeling my computer will take this personally and shut down in a couple of seconds. (mycomputers very touchy)
The electric can opener was a housewarming gift. :)
A new microwave is very inexpensive. It would probably cost a lot less than what the old microwave had cost many years ago.Quote:

I am pretty old ... i need to be made with a slimer body and more buttons and gizmos ! In Day-glo colors and iridescent buttons ! I need a sound for anything your mind can come up with ! I need video clip capture and playback and a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera, multi-step zoom, flash ! I need to be an MP3 Player with customizable effect/equalizer and player theme, and VCAST video and music on-demand ! I need voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions via GPS, and be bluetooth compatible !
thats all i can think of now >.<
