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:

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 got a 1962 stereo vacuum tube magnavox phonegraph console....

I got a 1964 klh 11 portable record player made in the usa

I got a 1963 fisher 800c tube vacuum tube stereo reciever

I also collect 8bit and 16bit games

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.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
