Disc drives?  :bawl:  Have to admit, I'd ditch my landline if it wasn't required for broadband.

I used to send faxes from my PC, but I've never actually had a fax machine.

I've just bought another Minidisc player.  It's far more rugged than my one-pod and indispensable when out and about on my Velocipede.

Definitely, and i find that for quality daguerreotypes the polaroid is very good, although my box brownie is the height of portability for those "out and about" shots.

I used to have a Polaroid camera in the 60's and apart from slight fading the photos have lasted reasonably well.
