CQVFEFE!! I Love it!! My 8 Track tapes are waiting for their comeback!! I'll admit, you got one over me with the "Electic Pencil Sharpener" I am jealous!
I have all that. The VHS to DVD machine cost me a lot, as my $50 one from Walmart years ago started eating tapes. I might tear it down someday, but I don't think I'll ever have the time. I also have a restored Pioneer 8-track tape player and a restored Pioneer reel-to-reel player, along with tons of tapes that still play fine. I am in the process of copying all the old tapes to the computer to remove the tape hiss and restore the high frequencies.
Yes, I am obsessed with keeping all my recordings safe. I have a stereo cassette tape recording of a family musical event from 1974. On the computer through my stereo and big Mitsubishi speakers, it sounds like everyone is playing right in front of me live. I made CDs years ago for my relatives and put some of the individual cuts on a personal website so friends and family online can listen to them.
Also, when I go to concerts, I have an old PDA that can record up to four hours. I have some good programs that I have copied to my computer. I also have recordings of some relatives who are no longer alive talking about genealogy and gossiping in general. Great to have for history.
That is Exactly why...I still have a Land Line...
I still have a landline, fax machine, cassette tape player, CD player, DVR and VCR.
(Paper, pencils and pens, too. Electric pencil sharpener! Wooo - that one is so high tech.)
Physical media FTW!

Mine uses batteries, so it could become solar powered once I hook my panels up.
That is awesome you guys

We are in the process of moving and my husband found an old transistor radio from the 70's era. It still works...with a battery.
Sadly, depending on your provider, that land line likely still relies upon IP networks to provide service.
You maybe right Penguin...But they can NOT say " I did not try"!!
LOL me too. I have cell, but my husband refuses to use a cell phone. Thus, we still have a landline as well.
