    My keyboard, bought for work 2001, Microsoft RT9443. Still going stong. Been disassembled a few times for cleaning, always goes back together perfectly.

    A bit noisy but reliable as hell !!
    Cheers, David

    A roughly 20-year-old beige-colored mechanical mouse, which has been better than any gaming, optical, lazer, wireless mouse I've ever tried, you name it. Just need to clean it every now and then, which sometimes is a longer interval than a new mouse lasts before it stops working for some weird reason. My CD/DVD driver is pretty old too, never saw a reason to upgrade that.

    I forgot I still have a modem - don't know when I bought it and not used very often now, but still comes in handy for the occasional fax. Ended up putting it in an older PC as I don't have the spare slot in my main gaming PC.
