Steppin’ into thw wayback machine, apparently, people still engage with my free tripod.com (Lycos) webpage that I used to showcase my Graphic and Website design. OccasionallyxI get the urge to get out my vintage first generation CD Playstation and play the original ‘Tenchu’. Unlike anything I ever played, immersive first generation 3-D Fighting Game . Whole Maps and worlds in 3-D stealth Ninja immersion against AI. Such Beautiful 15 century Japanese Castle Towns. L
I also had a Sony Mavica in the early transitional years of Digital Photograpy, late 90’s early 2000’s. So, the camera was built around a floppy disc, as “Film”. I subsequently have a collection of dozens of obsolete Floppy’s filled with Jpgs. Not quite as straightforward as converting my VHS tapes to digital.
I would use much older computer technology, if only my hardware lasted longer. Sadly, I need to replace most any piece within 3 - 5 years.
I still sometimes count on my fingers (“2nd, 4th and last letters of your memorable name”), and they’re ancient.
I can’t remember when I bought my printer, but the manual for it was published in 2007, which sounds about right.
I also still use Eudora for emails, which hasn’t upgraded since 2005, and my favourite image viewer app is an outdated version of ACDSee from 1999.
Not sure if this counts, but my personal email account dates back to 2002.
Otherwise, if we’re talking hardware, it’s probably my circa 2010 DVD/CD drive. I think it’s on its 3rd PC by now, and I mostly use it to burn CDs of music for the car.
Me… 
I still have a Blue Ray/CD player that has an input into my UHD Smart TV. I rarely use it but, on occasion, it comes in handy. It’s about 20 years old, and it is virtually new. LOL
Me too. On a virtual machine, since it’s PowerPC code on the Mac and modern Macs won’t run it.
I still have the later Sony Mavica that used CDR or CDRW discs for storage. I stopped using it a couple years ago when it stopped connecting over USB to transfer pictures. Now you have to “finalize” the disk and put it in a computer to get the pictures, then “unfinalize” the disk.
My copy says version 2.3, copyright 1995-1998. Been a while since I’ve used it, but I definitely miss apps that start instantly and do exactly one thing well.
I used to use 2.3 but then lost it in a crash and the only one I could find online that was the closest match was 2.41. I briefly tried v3, but that sucked so bad I returned to the previous and never looked back. I have no idea what the current version is like, but I imagine it has 16000 features I don’t need.
Wikipedia says:
The newest versions of ACDSee incorporate modern Digital Asset Management tools like Face Detection & Facial Recognition (Ultimate 2019).
No thanks.
That’s irrelevant considering 12th generation turbo encabulators are being used to train the lastest AI’s.
And Lotus 1-2-3 before everyone was forced into Excel? Man! Those were the days.
Yeah. That Wp-2 is still isefull. It has an 80 X 20 screen and a full keyboard, which is all a writer really needs. And unlike an iPad, it can’t throw popups and other distractions at you while you work.
1996 here. Signed up for a package called “Total Access” with earthlink. Got Netscape 3 for both email and web browsing and MacPPP for dialup as a subset of Mac’s TCP.
I just retired from a tech job, so I pretty much only used company computers that were <= 3 years old the last 30+ years for my job. I’d repurpose >3 yo computers into personal machines on the sly because my company was crap at knowing what machines I still had, then remind them and give them back after a few years. Rinse/repeat for decades.
I think the oldest tech I have is a Canon T3i SLR that I bought ca 2013. I got tired of hurting my back hauling a bag full of camera + lenses so I’ve never moved up the camera food chain from that one. Now I just use a phone to shoot, esp when traveling.
It was a wrench giving back my last two work machines: a Threadripper 32 core/64 thread box and a Mac Studio M1 Max 10 core. Very nice.
When I sensed I might be leaving about a year ago I built myself a AMD 5800x 8 core/16 thread box, 128g RAM for probably $1300. Faster single-threaded than the Threadripper and it’ll suit me for a few years. Plus my Mac Air for travel, or one of my iPads for v light travel.
I’m trying to think if I have any seriously old tech, but I’m just not a tech hoarder. 
Not owning really any machines while employed was a blessing.
Yeah, I’ve got a T2i in fact, but I came to the same conclusion you did; cell phones take plenty good photos, and it’s always there. So why not just use that for photos?
