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 What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?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

On the bus
I'm thoroughly fed up with being on a bus and someone starts playing music on their phone. A speaker smaller than 3mm is not intended to have music blown through it. Still, it pisses me off. My 17 year old son feels the same, but his response is to play something louder on his phone of a completely contrasting genre. If someone plays bog standard repetitive dance music, he'll play glam-rock, if they play gangsta rap, he'll play Mozart's Requiem. You get the idea.
But, it still has the problem of the sound quality. Consequently, I have one of these still in my parent's loft and intend to go pick it up and use it on the bus.

If you're going to annoy fellow passengers, then at least do it with a modicum of high-fidelity.

Remember to take some cardboard.
So you can bust out some break dancing moves with that beauty.

That is a good idea
Buses have more floor space on them now as they have to cater for wheelchairs.

Make a day of it and wear a studded leather collar and spiked punk hair
Then get a friend to wear his bath robe and do the vulcan neck pinch on you. It could be anyone's bath robe really.

That's freaky
I had exactly that boombox. I bought it in (around) 1982. I used to cart it about everywhere.

I was still using it in 1998, when I moved abroad. I think it might still actually be lurking around in my Mothers attic.

Memories . . .
