| What old tech do you collect? Currently looking into buying some |
| Sun workstations and some more Thinkpads. |

| None, yet, but I'm looking to acquire a variety of 20th century |
| items for actual daily/regular use: a rotary phone, a cassette |
| answering machine, a typewriter, and other things of that nature. |

| I don't have enough room to collect old tech, but my parents have |
| a couple typewriters (mechanical and electric) and some other old |
| things like a record player. I prefer new hardware with old software |
| or at least backwards-compatible software. |

| I have a lot of old phones. I got an iPhone 2G, a Nokia Mako S4000, |
| a Motorola i465, a Motorola RAZR, and a Samsung Galaxy SIII |

| Mostly classic macs and a little bit of apple/mac paraphanalia. I'm |
| writing this from a Powerbook G3 Pismo. Nice to see that it still |
| has a bit of life left in it. |

| I have a lot of thinkpads and old laptops. I just buy them when |
| I see a good deal. Currently writing this from a thinkpad x220 |
| probably one of my favorites I still use it almost everyday. |

| the basement for now. |

| Pre-smartphone mobile phones are pretty neat. I love all of the |
| different form factors they came in. I don't collect a lot of them, |
| but they're fun to mess with. |

| I've never been able to part with my Osborne 1, having paid $1795 |
| for it in 1980's dollars. Dammit, I'm gonna get my money's worth. |
