I have an HP PS2 keyboard that must date back to the early 90s which I took to bits and cleaned in soap and water. It looks like new now and is almost indestructible.

Yes, it’s always fun to fire up old PCs, Mindblower!

Maybe a charity shop, David?

My oldest and still working computer is a 486 DOS desktop. I fire it up every year or two to see if it still works. I also keep certain items from recycled computers like DVD’s which come in handy since they are no longer included with newer desktops. You just need to find the cables to make them external. Also best to hold onto an old computer which has them installed, Mindblower!

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Win 10 last Dec, and have the Extended updates. My Desktop, that I hardly use anymore, I built just before buying the laptop, upgrading from XP to 7 on an SSD, an Asus mobo, 16GB Corsair Vengeance, a 500 GB data HDD and an additional HDD with Mac OSx, but with it I still use my Logitech Access YSR34 keyboard that is so old it’s PS/2 made in 2004. Still my preferred keyboard despite the keys being yellow now. Yes, I have newer ones. I will use it until it no longer works.

Particularly a router that was functioing perfectly until I upgraded recently to access some extra speed. Are these of any value to people or are you aware of where they can be donated to people who might be able to use working tech that is simply a few years old? Thanks for the great article

Started using it 41 years ago in 1984 and still using it today with some of the original BSR modules. I added a JDS Stargate controller for X-10 23 years ago and it’s still going strong and I’ve even added Alexa control to it. The programming software runs on an old 32 bit laptop dedicated to the task but not required to run the Stargate.

It’s amazing how durable older hardware can be. I’m still using a Logitech keyboard from 2006 built like a tank and still more comfortable than most modern options. Sometimes the old tech just gets it right.
