Sadly not. But I'm hoping my extensive collection of power tools acquired during the "age of lockdowns" will be building furniture for my grandkids in 30 years! |

I have an angle grinder that I was given as a 21st birthday present, 32 years ago coming up, that’s still going strong after years of hard use. My pillar drill in the workshop has a 1960s motor on it and that’s still going too. Probably my oldest bit of working electrical kit is a hefty wall mounted battery charger made in the mid 1930s. |

I have, and still use, an original 8gb Apple iPod touch. Not exactly sure when I got it but think it was around 2007 or 8. Not old compared to some stuff but it is for these sort of electronics.
Also have, and still use, a Black & Decker hammer drill that must be 30 years old now. |

"BBC Micro from 1983. Needed a new power supply (they all do). Works fine after that. Still got old games and tools I created."
Aaaah the classic computer of my school years, apparently it was good for time traveling talk too, you can Google that spookyish tale.
I've still got a minidisc lying around and plenty of old cameras. |
