I used to be on the never ending iPod upgrade cycle back in the mid 2000's but that ended after the iPod Touch came out. Now I keep my tech for quite a few years before upgrading and dont feel like I am missing out on much of anything since many updates are minor.

For my Macbook Pro I have had it since 2006 and still use it to design. Unfortunately with its 2gb ram limit and inability to update to Adobe CS6 and OSX Mountain Lion I now have to think about a new laptop. I think I got my time/money out of the old MBP though!

@Brian
I am sure all those links leading back to your website don't hurt either, especially on a heavily trafficked website like Apartment Therapy?

While most of the items on the list make sense, I dont see the reasoning behind dumping a radio just because it does not have an iPod attachment. I still find myself using my old radio's even though they lack iPod connectivity.

I live by Pentel EnerGel pens (.5 needle tip).

Got one by chance on Sunday morning through Best Buy. Pure luck really.

I preferred the original painting, more character than the generic silhouette deer but glad the painting is still living on in some way!

I can certainly relate to this article. I have a Razr still, and it works fine. I listen to records on a 60's cabinet style player and it sounds great (actually gave away my cd player). I found a never used 1953 Hotpoint electric stove on Craigslist and besides being a great overall stove it can probably withstand a hand grenade going off in the oven. I also drive a 63' AMC Rambler that gets about 27 MPG give or take.

I completely agree with some of the other commenters here, many of todays goods are produced with an expiration in mind.
