Let's have a poll

[Poll #1679799]
ETA: That's a 5.25" floppy disk drive; none of this modern 3.5" stuff

Our DVD player is also a VHS video-converter (only 300+ tapes to go...) so is probably cheating. The CPU with a 5" floppy drive is in Lil's bedroom, sans keyboard and monitor, and copiously anointed by the cats - so is probably not in a condition to actually process anything. I'm not sure where the 78rpm records (which included 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and Flanagan & Allen's If a Grey Haired Lady Says "How's Your Father?" - in which I was word-perfect at the age of five, and may explain a lot about me now) are, but the turntable would certainly play them.

Can you still get 120mm film? I miss the joys of double exposure.

I can only find one of my dipping pens at present - but I have loads of nibs (and a quill-cutter and collection of goose feathers...)

I may still be living in the wrong century.

Now I see what a dipping thing is. At one point recently I had one of those too, but I think I gave it to, or put it to one side for, sally_maria. Or a museum. Forget which.
