Quote:We're entering 2010 with all kinds of new gadgets, gizmos, and tech tools, but let's not forget that we've lost a few things this decade, too. HuffPostTech took a look back at 12 things that became obsolete this decade. From fax machines to landline phones check them out (and get nostalgic) in the slideshow below!

Quote:Originally posted by Fremdfirma: I tend to use wired equipment by preference since depending on your level of encryption a wireless signal isn't real secure. One benefit to using outdated or obsolete technology is that it's generally more secure than modern stuff, especially when that modern stuff is built with government mandated backdoors that are hardwired in and illegal to circumvent - that's one reason why all my firewall and security ware is bought from overseas. -F

Quote:Originally posted by NewOldBrownCoat: Huff annoyed me with that story: I wanted a list, with a few words if needed, not a freaking slide show. As to landline phones, " s' what I got.". You call my number, you get my house. If I'm there, I answer, if I'm not busy. If I ain't there, it's 'cuz I'm out doing something more important, like work or the grocery store or fixing the car or seeing my doctor or maybe out somewhere havin' fun. The reason you need me is more important to you than it is to me, and I pay for the phone. If it's real important to you, you can leave a message, or call back later.

The others were on that list. Pirate News, those items are not obsolete, they are simply out of stock ;)

Mike - my folks had a green vista cruiser ("with Jet-a-way action! V-8), with the windows in the ceiling - loved that car as a kid. Maybe that's why I have a soft spot for station wagons. I think I like them because I know if things get real bad I can sleep in one pretty easy. Scifi movie music + Firefly dialogue clips, 24 hours a day - http://www.scifiradio.com
