What's the oldest piece of tech you still use on a day to day basis?

I'm a photographer and I use a camera from 2005. The camera was $3000 when it came out, so that means the image quality is still pretty decent for a full frame camera.

The 3000 dollar camera of today is better, but I get by. The 5d is a solid workhorse.

**autism triggered**

Op I still have my ZuneHD that I rock. I FUCKING LOVE THE USER INTERFACE! One of the reasons I haven't been able to get rid of it too is because of that aluminum case. I literally slammed this thing in a door, and its the only device that has survived this long.... why can't they make phones with the same rigidity? ):

Tablet - TF100 from 2013
