I'm still running some 2GB disks in our firewall; they're close to 20 years old and darned near indestructable (compared to the 500GB SATA drive that died in a matter of weeks).
Then there's the 360KB and 1.2MB floppy drives and the ALR 386 motherboard that I keep on hand if I ever have the urge to throw something together to play some old Infocom games on.
And who doesn't have some old UNIBUS core memory boards or some Q-BUS wirewrap prototyping boards laying around.
And, of course, a bunch of Model M keyboards.
(This one's pushing 18 years of use and the way these things hold up, I'm set for life for keyboards.
)

Weird?
Hell, it's all still useful stuff in the right hands.
A few comments about the photos in the article:  First, the captions cracked me up.
If the author thought the IBM Selectric was old, he ought to see the old manual Underwood we have in the basement.
Does anyone remember when Wang sold mostly-DOS-compatible PCs?
(Yep, they really did.
I worked with a woman who brought hers into the office to use.
We were mostly using CPTs back then.
Only a few of us "early adopters" hauled their PCs into work.
)  The PC Mag article on plotters reminded me that I ran across an old carton had a small collection of HP 7470/7475 plotter pens rolling around in the bottom.
God only knows why I hung onto those.
(For some reason I didn't throw them away after discovering them.
The Pack Rat's Curse.
)

If I'm ever in the area, I've got to check this place out.
I'd better leave my credit cards with the missus, though.
Otherwise it could turn out to be an expensive day.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext><p>It's hard to tell from the photograph, but I think the circular circuit board is a probe ring for an automated integrated circuit tester.  The chip is placed in the hole in the center of the circuit board.  Probe pins, like <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/accession/102640487" title="computerhistory.org">these</a> [computerhistory.org], are placed on the gold area around the hole in the center to contact the pads of the IC under test.  The other side of the pins are connected to the inner ring of contact points on the circuit board (just outside the gold area), which are, in turn, connected to the rows of contact points at the periphery of the board.  These points are big enough for human beings to connect test equipment cables to.</p><p>It's an example of the transition needed from the micro- (or even nano-) world of integrated circuits to the human-scale physical world.</p></htmltext>
