throwback-tech-07032014

At Re/code, #tbt isn’t just Throwback Thursday — it’s Throwback-Tech Day, an opportunity to showcase some of the best old-school gadgets our readers share with us.

We started Throwback Tech during the Code Conference in May, when I asked a bunch of conference-goers to share their favorite first gadgets (and even convinced a couple of people to mimic the AOL dial-up sound — thanks Matt Mullenweg!) I had so much fun with it that we thought, why not do it on a more regular basis?
