I still use a few things on this list of supposed obsolete items.
I still use; A, B, C, G, K, L, M, N, and Z. And I wanted to add a few more but the choices were iffy.
If you're in Missouri, today is Missouri's 200th anniversary of admission to the Union.

I still use a number of those things too - but perhaps I am obsolete.
A (for digital signals), B, C (not that you can read my chicken-scratch), D (Merriam-Webster paperback), G, I (if we're counting ballpoint pens), K, M (assuming printing out a map from the internet is the same thing), N, Q, Z.
Some of these are iffy for me, too. For instance, I still have a VCR, but it's been forever since I played anything on it. Is xeroxing a generic term for copying, or reference to the actual Xerox company? Anyway, I've copied things from a computer. I own a wrist watch but rarely wear it. I still have a yellow pages but rarely use it. Do I still use privacy? Well, I don't invite people into the bathroom with me.
Kirk - The VCR is a good example of an iffy. I keep mine because one day I'm going to copy all my old family VCR tapes to disc. One day.
I still use B, C, D, E, G, I, K, L, N, O, and Z. I use V in the iffy way you do. I hope for P and Q without much confidence. And since when can you claim C ... I thought you'd subcontracted all that to Claudia. Oh, wait ... she's the C! Never mind.
Just B and Z. I go to half-priced books weekly (I'll never get rid of my books) and the HOA for my condo requires a mailed check...the only check I write and my only reason to have stamps. I've often thought of selling it just to eliminate this ludicrous task. Simplify, simplify, simplify...the three keys to an enjoyable retirement.
I use several on the list. Happy birthday Missouri!
Bill - She's 99% of C. I still sign a few checks.
Simmons - You should use Young Simmons as a moniker. You've almost completely converted to the digital life.
Mark - You can still make it back here for the birthday party!
I still use A, B, C and G. We used a lot of A to watch the Olympics. Congrats, Missouri. My card is in the mail. Take care and have a great rest of your week, Mike.
Happy anniversary Missouri! I really enjoy your knowledge about 20th century technology, Mike. Seriously I often think about what you would say about something I see
I hope you had a happy Bicentennial Day.
Matt - You're fading away from the old grid. Hang in there.
Cloudia - You come up with some interesting stuff.
Kathy - If you hadn't mentioned it on your blog I would have never known about it. It received sparse coverage if any on the news stations.
I still subscribe to a real newspaper!
Happy Wednesday, Mike!
Veronica - I get our local one in the mail for free. I subscribe digitally to our area-wide paper (news source).
Some of these went way back for me. Heck, I still use a whole bunch of them, so would they be considered obsolete?
I like to hold the paper, hear the rustle of it.
Missyouree is beautiful. I grew up in that whole area of Louisiana, MO, across the bridge to Pike County, IL, down the river from Hannibal, MO. It is a beautiful place to go, esp. in the Fall.
Susan - I'm sure a 20 something made up this list.
When we go to visit my wife's relatives near Dallas City Il, sometimes we cross at that bridge. I like to take different routes going up there.
