I still have a (parallel port) Zip Drive, a minidisc recorder/player (and shoe box of minidiscs) and a graphing calculator cluttering up my study.

We used to use a minidisc recorder and a pair of PZMs to record all our rehersals - It then took about a week to rip and burn them onto CD, but a few good ideas were saved/salvedged in this way.

I don't think anyone misses IRQ settings :)

NOW I don't, but while setting IRQs was annoying, some of the weird stuff that sometimes happened in the earlier days of plug-and-play was worse.

>> What about dial-up modems
