Minding your own business - clearly went obsolete when Facebook opened its door to folks outside of colleges.

CB radio


Pirated, HAM radio should make a comeback. It’s essentially podcasting, but unless the listeners has a cassette or a CD-R available, there’s no record of the recording, so no “gotcha” moments for saying something uncouth.

I remember that feature. What was the utility? Not using up your minutes just to talk to someone within line-of-sight distance?

The integration of email, calendar, and notes was and still is superior to anything Apple has done.

Line of site of a tower not different than cellular. We used them in group mode often via Nextel.

The manual can opener still works perfectly well

Use one all the time over our electric monstrosity. It's much simpler and works better with just a little more effort.

I think VHS produced a warmer, analog picture compared to today’s digital streaming.


Get a Blu Ray/4K DVD player then. It’s what I do, and own over 500 films.
