What's the oldest tech device in your possession?

[MTL]

hm.  I have a typewriter that dates from the 1920s.

It is incredibly heavy.

hehe ...true story ...90 year old mother in law calls my computer keyboard a piano! BWHAAA!

LOL!

My mother is terrible for malapropisms.

She saw a Toucan on TV and called it a "Duotang"

For those who are unfamiliar with one or both of these items,

this is a Toucan:




This is a duotang:



She also refers to the restaurant "Licks"...


...as "Lick-A-Place"


And she has been known to refer the Kyoto Protocol as "The Coyote Agreement"


And most embarrassingly, back in the 90s, when we both worked at the same hotel,
she used to carry a pager with her, but couldn't seem to recall that it was, in fact, called a "pager",
and when she accidentally locked it in the office,
she had to go down to the front desk and embarrass the dickens out of the young man working there
by asking him to call the custodian because she left her "vibrator" in the office.

" I need my vibrator.  There's no point in going up to the hotel rooms without my vibrator. "


It is doubly funny because my Mom is EXTREMELY modest and conservative
and when she realized what she said, she was MORTIFIED.
