What's best the lastest gadget, or that clunky machine you've always relied on?

The reason I ask is I started the bank holiday weekend sings my lungs out in the shower to Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction (on tape no less!) courtesy of some kick ass ceiling speakers. A classic old album on a now defunct format, played through some fairly new tech (cutting holes in your bathroom ceiling to fit these is not for the faint hearted!!)

I still own one stereo with a tape deck, plus a VCR and a decent collection of videos, that does probably date me as something other than a twentsomething I guess. Yet I have a full HD 37" with SKY HD subscription but haven't invested in Blu-Ray (maybe because I can't be arsed to replace all 350 dvd's?) or even upgraded my Nokia E71 to an Iphone!
