PaladinMJ:
lets see what else:

* pay phones that were a dime and could get incoming calls
* silly putty
* slinky
* lawn darts!! oh here kids go throw these spears at targets set right infront of your feet... have fun now
* marble ka-bangers!! (think a string with a large glass marble on each end that you held in the middle and the object was to get them to bang together really fast)
theres soo much more and yet hehe I'm going blank!!

cranioscopical:
OK - since this is DonationCoder, how about ridiculously obsolete computer languages that you spent time learning but will never use again? For me:
Rexx - scripting language for IBM mainframes and OS/2

Hey!  I resemble that remark!  I use Rexx daily on XP, currently this variant (ooRexx).

zridling:
BBS (bulletin board service) predated the internet and back in the 80s, it's how we downloaded porn. At least some of us.

(Not me, of course.*)

Edvard:
