Mine is my Squeezebox.

Not a day goes by when I don't marvel at the way I can have music all over the house. I think the internet radio is fab, all those stations all over the world.

My music current library is:

  • For work-a-day usefulness it's a cheapo Sony Erricson V630 phone. I hardly ever use it as a phone but I can play music, watch films and have loads of games all in a tiny box. And it's a clock too.

    I'd like to thank you for posting this.

    It made me think.

    Over the years I must have spent many thousands of pounds on all manner of tech stuff. All of it caused headaches in one way or another and I probably spent more time getting most things to work properly than actually using them. Most of it is now in landfill.

    I will continue to use my current toys until they bust but never again will I fall for the allure of a new toy. I shall instead buy a good penknife and take up whittling.

    I'd agree. My Transporter would be the last techy product I'd want to lose.

    I'm waiting with great interest to see which particular Apple goody Marty J nominates. :)

    Maybe not the answer you're looking for, but a technological solution to a problem, so a techie object
