I still have my 16 (almost 17) year old Adidas reversible coat. It's one of the best I've owned, and other than some zipper issues is like brand new. Once I have enough cash I want to get the zippers repaired on it though. If I fixed that you'd never know it was that old.

I also keep a lot of swag and stuff from various betas and things I've been on.

Oh yeah and tech stuff.

I have a Commodore 64, an IBM 286 with 20MB hard drive (running a stripped down Win 3.11 with Best of Windows Entertainment Pack), Telegames, NES, SNES, N64, Sega Master System, Atari 7200, Sega Genesis, etc.

Heck even my current desktop and all its parts are 6 years old...although I don't know if that fits into the want to keep category. I'd love to replace it...and well yeah maybe still keep it for a server or something.

Oh and my Halo 3 Zune 30...signed by Marty O'Donnell. I can even provide a picture for that one. (It also has a copy of ODST signed by the Bungie crew in that pic)

I had nothing else to do so I took a few photos of what I had within reach. To keep in the spirit of things I used my crappy 12 year old digital camera. :laugh:

Outdated Processors

Misc Computer Stuff

TI-99/4A Computer

IBM PC Keyboard

Some old Games

Powerbook 1400

8-Track Stereo

Philco Radio

Master Merlin

A couple pictures of some of my ISA and PCI cards I took a few years ago.

Panasonic Video Cartridge Player, this one isn't mine but it's the model I have

I wish I still had our IBM PC jr, we had about 10 TI 99/4A's with ALL the expansion stuff and pretty much every floppy and cartridge made for it at one point too.. about 10yrs ago we threw them away :/ I think we had the same modem you have in that one pic too... was that a 300 baud one with the old 25 pin serial connector on it and a ton of red LED lights on the front?

That one is originally a 28.8 (later flashed to 56k), but I believe their older modems may have used that same design. The white one is a 56k v92.

I think this thread would be a lot better if people posted photos of the items they are saying they have. I mean, I could come on here and spout off about how I have got this and that old products when in reality I have none of it.

I agree with you, but unless YOU want to dig through the boxes in the attic and basement, you'll just have to take my word for it.

Here's a pic just for you though. :p

Here's a closer shot for everyone else:

From left to right: 486DX-33, DX2-50, DX2-66, P166, IBM/Cyrix P-200, another P133

Why I keep them, don't know.

Also have a Amiga A500 w/250MB HDD, 1084S monitor, but I'm not dragging it out of the basement. And yes it works perfectly.

Super Nintendo stuff. Can't let go of it, ever. Especially since my Super Nintendo is a genetic mutation immune from yellowing.

huh, didn't know Super Famicom games fit into the SNES slot, always thought they made them different shapes so you couldn't do that as a type of region lock *lol*

You are correct, there are a couple of tabs inside that prevent the cart from physically getting inserted. I just melted mine down and haven't had any problems getting imports to work.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I must admit, this is probably the only game at the moment where I can see that $80 price point being ok. The issue will be when other developers think they can get away with it with half of the work.
    • Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Google Wallet expands TSA PreCheck Touchless ID access to more travellers by Fiza Ali Google has announced that Google Wallet is becoming the first digital wallet to integrate with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID. It is a programme that lets eligible travellers move through participating airport security checkpoints using facial recognition instead of showing a physical ID or boarding pass. While the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID programme has been available for some time, using it hasn't always been straightforward. The programme currently operates at 65 airports across the US, but participation has largely depended on flying with a limited number of airlines. Travellers also had to upload passport information separately through participating carriers. Now, the tech giant's new integration is designed to remove some of those extra steps. With the update rolling out in the coming weeks, travellers with TSA PreCheck membership will be able to enrol in Touchless ID through Google Wallet and use the service with any of the 100 airlines participating in the programme. Rather than repeatedly submitting identification details, users can store a digital ID in Google Wallet and use it to streamline future trips. Setting up the feature is relatively straightforward as well. The process starts with users creating a digital ID in Google Wallet using their passport information. After checking in for a flight and saving a boarding pass to the app, eligible travellers will see a "Get started" option that directs them to the TSA enrolment process. Once users choose to share their ID pass and boarding pass information with the TSA for a specific trip, the agency will verify the enrolment. If approved, a TSA PreCheck Touchless ID indicator will appear on the boarding pass stored in Google Wallet, signalling that the traveller can use designated express Touchless ID lanes at participating airports. As privacy and security are likely to be key considerations for many travellers, Google says users must explicitly opt in before any information is shared with the TSA, and authentication is required through a device PIN, pattern, or biometric verification. The company also notes that digital IDs stored in Google Wallet remain encrypted and are kept on the user's device. For frequent flyers who already use TSA PreCheck, the new integration could remove a few more steps from the airport security process, making travel slightly faster and a little less cumbersome.

      Even though MS had to sunset the Windows Subsystem for Android, you can apparently use BlueStacks to run Android in Windows now. I haven't tested this yet, so if anyone has any feedback, I'd love to hear it.
