I was still sticking with the Apple II for a few years after it had become obsolescent. I even subscribed to a newsletter that offered tips and tweaks for getting it to do things it wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.
Also, there was an Apple-compatible word processing program that I really loved. I regularly used it in a college computer lab: Bank Street Writer. It was so easy, so intuitive!

I was digging a trench for electric service and found this. Been buried 30+years - marked 1987. There used to be an aboveground pool near where I'm working and all sorts of crap has come out of the ground. Surprisingly, most of it looks unbothered by all the years. Doesn't make me feel any better about landfills - not gone at all just out of sight out of mind.
No batteries required. Imagine having a child's toy that didn't need them. Strange, right?

The Max Headroom Incident: In 1987 someone interrupted the broadcast of a television station in Chicago. The first interruption was during the news, the second was during a showing of Dr. Who. What was broadcast was exceedingly mysterious, a touch scary, and has never been resolved.

I never used MSN messenger because I did not much like Microsoft products however I did use Yahoo messenger quite often in the early 2000s...

Discman was Sony, not Panasonic. I had one of those CD player adapters that plugs into the cassette tape slot for my '87 Mustang.

I had a Discman (and maybe still do up in the attic) but that Panasonic may have been the grandaddy of them all.
Would you believe those are still commonly available? I was just admiring one for the OEM Clarion in the old Saab, assuming I ever get that pile of Ancient Tech working correctly again. I think I may go for the FM/Bluetooth interface instead so I don't have to worry about whether it wants to eject the adapter or not.
That Bosch LH 2.4 Multi Port Fuel Injection system with EZK controller is similar to today's vehicles but is a definite candidate for this thread, they just don't make them like that anymore. Oddly, although it's even older tech the Single Port/Throttle body style of FI has made a comeback. Versions of that are Holley Sniper EFI and so forth unless I'm grossly mistaken. Adding the very flower of 1980s tech to anything would normally be a bit questionable but if you beamed back into 1960s people would be pretty happy to have it.

I still have a couple of those portable CD players in the spare bedroom. They never worked worth a piss but I would use them late at night when the wife was trying to sleep.
