I had to mark off some duplicates. Like: a Treo IS a cell phone AND a PDA.

Duplicates are fine.

Treos are also digital cameras

They are, but I would have checked that anyway since we have two others.

Since I have a Treo, I don't have a separate phone or PDA. It's replaced them. It isn't replacing the Nikon D70, though.

Treos are also digital cameras as you show almost every week.

Has something replaced the microwave?

Nope. I didn't understand that one either.

An electric or gas stove, some people do not microwave.

But you've listed microwaves along with other "old tech" that people are replacing.

Oh, good. It's bad enough that I'm living in the dark ages with my non-plasma, non-HD 24" TV; I'd hate to think there were new toys out that I wasn't even aware of. :)

I have no TV at all. :)

But that doesn't make microwaves old technology, like vinyl records or cassette players.

If you don't have one you rely on old tech.
Date: 2006-07-19 11:20 pm (UTC)

From: [identity profile] marahsk.livejournal.com
But then shouldn't microwaves be listed with the other current tech?

I only own an HDTV because I won one on a game show. I don't have HDTV service and have never actually used that aspect of the thing.

So what does it look like with a regular connection?

Do DVD's activate the HDTV effect?

Does what my kids or my husband own count? The kids have MP3 players; S has a bunch of thumb drives, memory sticks, anything you can store data on. And we have the complete line of Nintendo game players, up through GameCube and GameBoy, and the kids are anticipating the new Nintendo game platform (the Wii, or whatever it winds up being called).

We do use the landline, but it only HAS to be here so that the TiVO can phone home. I suspect that we only have the record player because we don't throw things out often enough. We haven't actually used it in years. Likewise, the cassette player is legacy equipment; it's in the car, and its main job is to provide access to the speakers for various other electronic equipment.

I was thinking of things you have access to, so yes family assets count.

There's hacks for that...

One of the reasons I upgraded my Replay to one with an ethernet port, the upgrade has cost *much* less than paying for a land-line for multiple years.

Are you worried about it? Is not owning any of this affecting you happiness?

No just curious looking for trends in abd sample set, also to see if asking people for advice is worth it like with the digital camera.

Looks like it is worth it.

Digital cameras are totally worth it. After you buy the camera, rechargable batteries, and battery charger, all your pictures are completely free, unless you choose to print them. And you can print just the good ones, not to mention being able to fix up some of the bad ones.

I don't own any of the items in the "own" section. Con_girl owns the first three items, though, so I guess that that counts.

We have and all of the items in the "do not own" section. We still regularly use all excepting the vinyl record player (we got out of the habit while it was minus a drive belt) and the B&W television set (we had and used a 13" B&W until about two years ago when we replaced it with a 14" colour model - the B&W is in the basement).
