20 GB hard drive from 2006.
Next year we're going to have a party for it.
My TI-84 calculator.
My Nintendo dsi. Since 2009
1962 fender brownface pro-amp
Either my TI-99/4A, or if it still works, the IBM 7072 that I got from NYIT for $200 in 2000.
I've got an old TRS-80 in stored-in-a-leaky-shed-for-40-years condition. I can also lay my hands on an AM/FM radio that I think dates to the 70's.
Empire State radio, R52
Sinclair Microvision MTV-1. It doesn't work though. First released about 1978 according to Wikipedia.
Found it in a thrift store in a small town with a single stop light, in the middle of nowhere. That's also where I got my sealed copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 on 5 1/4 floppies. Total cost $7.
A TI-99/4. I need to find an old tv to hook it up
Wii console
Game Boy Advance with a Pokemon Sapphire cartridge that I don't think has been removed in over a decade. Every time I turn it on I always wonder how I spent so many hours staring at a screen with no backlight.
Probably some old radio, not sure of the date though.
my first computer. it's about 12 years old
A Nintendo64 with several game cartridges. It's a little flaky, but it still works for the most part.
1980 Sony trintitron crt TV that still works. Got the N64 hooked up to it.
I have my grandmothers iMac G4. Just an interesting looking from the days when Apple made interesting looking things. It still works but itβs really used for anything.
Probably a Cowon iAudio mp3 player from the mid aughts. I might still have a Philips cd mp3 player from the early aughts. Ooh in my garage I have Sony PC speakers from 2001.
Probably either my Olympus OM-1 or my Minolta SR-T 201. Both still work (the Olympus just needs some cleaning and maintenance)
I have a CRT from 1995. Aside from that, probably my dad's turntable which has unofficially become mine, or the Yamaha electric keyboard
Either the wood-grain radio with clock or a 1970s bubble-LED calculator
