I still have some flat IDE cables in my collection of cables. Just in case..

I still have my "portable" mp3 player from 2000... It was a kit, you supply hard drive, 72-pin simm, and power supply.

Right next to my ps/2 keyboard and mouse with serial adapter cause you never know.

I carried around a floppy drive (like through moves, not day to day) for a long time after I last used it but eventually realized tech has gotten to the point where I'll probably never use one again.

But I did get an external bluray drive instead of throwing away all those discs I burned back in the day. Even though, in the process of checking them for data loss and ripping to move them to m-discs, I realized I didn't really care if any had lost data (though none have so far).
