I'll give you the cradle modem adapters but most of the other stuff you list are not the old days, in fact fairly recent if you ask me. Hell I have most of that stuff lying around the house, and much earlier/slower/smaller versions.

I've got a couple of C64's and a VIC20 with cassette drives, and a 300 baud modem.  A few 10/20MB hard cards.  I've got some 8 inch floppy disks from Mainframe controllers, and piles of punch cards.  I know I have a copy of DOS 2.0 and I believe I have a copy of 1.x somewhere. Windows 1.0/2.0/3.x. But I'm pretty new to computers compared to people I have worked with who have been in it for *much* longer.  They talk about how they used to program mainframes by patching wires.

I had a computer teacher back and highschool. She was a total dinosaur, she had actualy used and operated one of the vacume tube set ups from the day's of the EDSAC!!!! That, was impressive. Man she had stories. Probably the coolest class I took in HS. The rest was an excersise in alianation.
