All things I wished I could have, but didn’t. Well, I did have one of those 2000s cheat booklets for PS2 games, but it was in bad shape and wouldn’t have been obvious, and I couldn’t bring my Phillips CRT with PS2 over here (it was a practical space/support issue), so I left it out, even though it would’ve really taken it that much further.
I don’t have vintage printers either, since I can’t justify them, and the printer I already do have usually works (though it is a haunted and vindictive HP, so that should say all).
All good things to have though. I’m sure I’ve got more neat goodies hiding in my basement, I just have to dig them out.
Portable standalone MP3 player would also be a good addition very typical for the time period, plus a reference to Napster or so... :-)
I owned a Samsung Yepp 32, one of the earliest somewhat affordable ones.
The "32" stands for its whopping 32 MByte (no, not GByte) internal flash memory. Enough for half an hour of standard compressed music...
Ahhhhh that’s one thing I missed! I don’t have a standalone MP3 player or boombox, but I do have a Discman! We had tons of those iPod-wannabe MP3 players too, not sure where they all ran off to. Those ones we had ranged from 16MB to 128MB I wanna say. Probably had SD card expansion too. Tsk, just lamenting the fact that I forgot my Discman and a set of Koss headphones!
