Retro Treasure In The Attic?


I have been clearing out our house over the past few weeks along with my family. It is amazing what you discover in your attic and your cupboards. There are many books, magazines and clothes that are just not read or used anymore. The most striking things not being used are things that were contemporary at one stage. These things mostly relate to technology and were seen as the latest edgy thing. I have listed such items below and thought some of them were quite amusing. Hope they bring back a memory or two for you. It also reminds me that we can store up lots of things on this earth, some small things, and some even like treasure. I guess we should store up a little less and live for what lasts.

1.modems

2.Software disc for 56K dial up and lots of software discs for computers

3.4 Ethernet cables

4.countless scart leads - (HD killed them off)

5.Many many cassettes, music and talks

6.Numerous videos, even some original star wars ones

7.Mini Discs - this is odd, I really did think that these were so cutting edge and here to stay (Mp3's put them out in the cold)

8.User manuals for many of the above

9.Lots of CD-RW discs

10.Floppy discs (such little memory looking back)
