Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

A computer. Not necessarily the one I'm using, though this one is 5 years old. But I've been using a computer almost every day since I can remember, and I'm 35 today.

But thank you, nonetheless.

Happy birthday!

Same at 33. I was amongst the lucky few at school with an internet connection in the mid 90s. There isn't a very long period of my life I didn't have access to console and a PC.
