3. Pen tablet, graphic arts tool.
Instead of using a mouse, you use a pen for drawing/illustrating, etc.

33. Oops,
almost missed your post.

Yes, it's a Cassiopeia. Of course I found out after I bought it that it didn't really run on Windows CE but it's own software. With a few modifications installed it worked quite well. Well, it still works, just not anymore on battery, because that one is toast and I don't spend (regarding the initial cost) 2/3 of the price of the whole thing for a replacement battery. It served me well for 4 years.

35. It's quite a nice toy,
has everything, and since you installed the new os, it has even more. Quite all in one.

I even saw a DIY instruction for an external battery pack for it.

5. A 5-year old compaq that needs replaced NOW.
Dial-up.
A T Mobile POS phone.
I still use an analog camera.

I don't have iPods, satellite radio, the newest PC, I don't even have a damned CD BURNER, for Christ's sake.

There's just too much to buy and not enough capital to buy it with.

12. Doesn't it make you sick to see all of this stuff . . .
. . . and you can't get ANY of it? I'm so behind. I would need a better PC for it all, plus time to learn how to use it.

13. Talking box in kitchen.
It rings and when I listen to it it sounds like my relatives.

My wife just told me it is a telephone and that it has been around for over a hundred years. Wow! That's embarassing.

I-Mac & peripherals
-Zip drive
-CD/DVD burner
-still shopping for printer/scanner

filmless camera

More Tay Vays than I need. Some with DVD players. I guess VHS does not count anymore.

I-Pod for listening to downloaded Stephanie Miller in the car.

electric razor (brand new)

I guess my 1975 stereo with phonograph player or the cassette recorder I added later does not count. My 15-yr-old Sony Watchman B&W TV probably does not either. Probably not the toaster, either.

Shortwave receiver for hearing real news.

small clock that fits on my wrist.

some GPS thing someone gave me that will not point out compass directions and I cannot figure out how to use.

EQ-6 heavy duty equatorial telescope tracking mount for my D&G 5" f/12 refractor.

14. Everything Counts, Old and New
I started this thread to see if anyone has anything really cool. It doesn't matter if it's old or new.
