Oldest owned: IBM PC AT, built in 1985. Well, the CPU, mobo, case, and drives are. The video card and monitor got replaced with VGA gear somehwere along the line. It still runs.

Oldest in regular use: The C2Q 6700 in my home server and my MP3 player are both from 2007, and neither is likely to be replaced soon.

That's a nice piece of technology. It's a shame that they stopped using titanium chassis in the powerbook line. My mom used one of those from its release up until around 2 years ago when rampant javascript finally forced her to upgrade to a macbook air.
>>
>>54289174
Yeah, Based on the specs (550mhz processor) its the gigabit ethernet one too. I kind of wish it was the dvi with the 1ghz chip, but its not going to be used for anything but os9 games. I still need to get ram and new fans for my dual 450 g4 tower, but fuck that.

Art deco push button ashtray from circa 1940's. Still in use

I used to have one of those, really nice laptop. Used it up until about 2006, at which point my abusive lifestyle took a toll on the screen.

>>54286140
one of the hdds in my PC is from like 1k5 i guess.
And sometimes, mainly in traffic jams, i still use my Gameboy Color, if that counts

My dad went through customs with one of these computers when a TSA agent decided he wanted to make sure there were no explosives inside. He didn't know there was a button for opening it though, so he forced his fingers in on the sides and ripped it open, completely destroying the screen.

Sidewinder Freestyle Pro

Got it in 1998 and still works.
Great for racing games. You can use it like a steering wheel because it has some early version of motion sensing. Way ahead of its time.

Probably this.

Model is older than the F91W.

Atari 1040 STf
>>
>>54290010
I don't recall. It was at least insured though so he got insurance (or maybe TSA money?) for repair. Interestingly enough, Apple wanted over $1000 to fix the screen, so he just bought a new model instead. I ended up using the broken titanium powerbook with external monitor and keyboard for a few years.
>>
My NES I suppose. Duck Hunt is still a blast for get-togethers, shame it doesn't work with LCD/LED/Plasma screens
>>
>>54290121
My brother had one of those. It was quite nice. Microsoft used to be pretty darn good at making joysticks and computer mice.
