Photo hunt - Old-fashioned
January 26th 2008 by pelfy in Photo Hunt
This week’s photo hunt theme is old-fashioned.
But I am not going to explain that term, like how the dictionary does because sometimes the definitions can be way too difficult for some to understand.
Thus, I am defining it in my own simple words. Old-fashioned means outdated; something nobody wants to use anymore. (well, if they have a choice-la).
I personally would not call myself an old-fashioned girl because I am not, but sometimes I would just have to bear with it, especially when I am playing some life-threatening games with my …. filial computer.
My sister’s elephant; my dinosaur.
This was my sister’s elephant computer. It was passed down to my generation when she left for University many many years ago. Back then, I had no choice but to use it for online-chatting (those days were ICQ and mIRC). As for now, I only use my dinosaur when (1) I am too lazy to carry my laptop home; (2) I want to play Need For Speed; (3) I feel like listening to the 70’s songs.
Now you ask: why do you call it old-fashioned when you can still use it? Ahaa.. Check out the (1) bulky monitor; (2) huge speakers; (3) external modem; (4) CPU; (5) adapters; (6) mouse and lastly, (7) keyboard! They are all gigantic, bulky, huge, enormous computer accessories.
** It was named elephant because it was bulky. It is named dinosaur because most of the antique accessories cannot be found in modern computer shops anymore. **
Geez. Anyway, happy weekend to all!

This is so ‘right on’ for being ‘out of style’….and technology these days keeps us on our toes, doesn’t it?
My ‘old fashioned’ is posted, hope you can drop by and visit with me too, I love visitors!!!

Computers go out of style so quickly
I have an old-fashioned one in the shed - - -

I was able to dispose of a similar computer we had, thank goodness
Happy photohunting! Mine’s up too!

We had one of that very old PC that dates back to 1985 and hubby managed to get rid of it. Yes, they are very ancient!

I got old computer too but i already disposed it. Nice one you got here. Happy weekend!

We have several of those sitting around here.

Yup… that’s an old one.

Great take on the theme… it sure doesn’t take long for pc’s to become outdated!
January 27th, 2008 at 2:27 am
It’s amazing how quickly computers become obsolete. Great idea for this week’s theme
January 27th, 2008 at 2:52 am
HA! I´ve had a quite similar looking, but mine quit working, so I had to buy a newer one :-)
Great take on the theme.

Very Funny!

Haha! Great interpretation of this week’s theme. I have a dinosaur a bit like that, but the last time I used it was a year ago, when my laptop was away having a minor repair done. Have a lovely weekend!

January 27th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

*sorry for not being able to comment couple of weeks ago, I was on my way offshore after posting comments. just came back 3 days ago.

Well that’s certainly old-fashioned, but I see ones like it quite often! Good post

I have an old fashioned computer like that sitting next to my new computer. I’ve never gotten all the files transferred to the new one even though I’ve had a new one for 2 1/2 years. At this point I may as well give up on the file transfer as I’ve forgotten what’s on the old fashioned one but every now and then I’m looking for something and realize it’s on the old one so I boot it up and get the file. Your post reminded me I should try to get the rest of the files switched over before it become 20 years, ha.

How old is it? Is it because I’m old that it doesn’t look that old??? ;D
January 28th, 2008 at 12:34 am
Nice take on the theme Pelfy. Happy Monday.
January 28th, 2008 at 12:36 am
We still have that kind of computer here. Have a great week ahead.
January 28th, 2008 at 2:14 am
Yes, that looks very old fashioned! We considered finding a photo of an old Atari that hooked to the television but then we’d have had to explain what it was. Besides, Simone fit the cat theme!
