Wow! I didn’t realize it had been so long since I posted. Then, I just found this site: http://lastyearsmodel.org/ and thought it was pretty cool.
Here’s my version and my list of “old tech”:

  • A 9 year old no-name, many-times refurbished PC with a 1gig processor, 2GB memory and 40Gb HD for a linux file server/test bed.
  • Another 8 or 9 year old no-name many-times refurbed for a test bed — Windows Home Server
  • Two nokia 1900 cell phones (with basic Net10 service $15/month!) for cell service. The newer phone is 2 years old, the older 4 and both still working great. Not even a battery problem!
  • My scanner is a 6 year old Canon Lide20
  • And my Laptop is a Toshiba A25-S207 == 6 years old and still going strong.

Truthfully, every bit of this stuff meets my needs (and I demand a lot of my equipment)

So, what is YOUR technology status? Do you really need the latest and greatest?
