This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

packet racket
I used to spend far too much time on packet about 15 years ago (Christ, is it really that long?), then my PK88 TNC died and I discovered the internet and IRC instead.

I bought a new-to-me TNC a couple of years ago, but there is almost no packet activity in my area now. I never did get to try out the blisteringly fast 9k6.

Have a crack at the ISS then
It has an APRS digipeater and a mailbox on it. I can get through it with around 25W into a vertical dipole on the roof - no fancy tracking or rotators - from the north of Scotland. Anywhere further south and it would be even easier.
