Old and obsolete tech you know how to use - (and that for some reason insist on using)

[Kiislova]

During the Coof I found myself bored at home so much that I've learned to use a slide rule. In essence, a handy tool to perform math operations easily back when electronic calculators didn't exist.

So, I'm curious to know which other obsolete tech do kiwis use or know how to use?

Push mowers and bicycles, although only cripples and the retard don't know how to operate those machines.

A forge. My family line is a long chain of engineers. I'm the odd one out but I still know my crafts. It's a matter of "wheres an actual safe place to use a forge when everything is flammable" kind of reason why I dont do so more often.

Not so much "obsolete" as is a firey and awesome skill to have.

Despite not growing up with MS-DOS, I know how to use it somewhat. Just enough to get games working thanks to DOSbox. Getting I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream working was quite an educational experience.

Betamax or VHS? Yup, I'm that old. Remember the remote controls which were still attached to the TV and video? Oh the good old days!
Edit: I just remembered Commodore 64 and playing Pong, thinking I'm a tech wiz.

I can write in cursive, and still maintain beautiful penmanship if that counts. It astounds me how many people I run across who can't write or even read script.

As for actual tech, I grew up with DOS and the Commodore 64, and operating them is still second nature to me.

I never learned DOS all that well because the computer I learned on had Norton Commander on top of it. I had to use pure DOS occasionally because Norton couldn't do everything but despite using DOS I've never been that familiar with it because I always accessed it a different way.
