40. Oh, c'mon Windows 98 isn't even old. (And more stuff too)

Windows 3 is kind of old.
DOS 3.0 is old.
The Osborne 1 is old
TRS-80 and Commodore Pet are really old.

I still have (and use) those blue and white Corning casseroles.

I remember living in two houses with phones that didn't even have rotary dialers. You picked up the receiver and an operator came on the line and asked, "Number please?" When our town got rotary dials and 7-character phone numbers (BEachwood 45789), we had classes in school to learn how to use them.

Stick shift: I always drove stick shifts until recently. I once left a car salesman speechless when his company didn't even have any stick shift models. I said, "When I'm on a steep and twisty one-lane dirt and gravel road on the edge of a 3000 foot cliff in the middle of a rain, wind, fog, and hail storm, I don't want a machine deciding to shift gears for me." (A real experience I had had.) The salesman just looked at me with his mouth open.

Fun thread.
