Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. |

Always think of this as my Monday challenge. Looking for something to meet the challenge I came across these old CD's which I had forgotten that I ever created.  |

You even made a nice cover for each CD - I bet the CD's had printed labels too.
This reminds me of my CD making days, but I have to admit, I never made nice covers for the cases, although I did print a label onto the CD itself -
I bought matte coated CD's and I had a CD printing attachment on my printer

I was sitting here thinking about what old technology I had in the house, but I had thrown out most of it --- Then Helen's photo inspired me Not sure why I still have these. I have nothing to play them on. I was going to buy a combo vcr/dvd recorder so I could transfer the tapes to DVD's - but the machine was too expensive National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Muppet Family Christmas are our go-to Christmas movies. I have them in DVD format and we even take them with us when we travel at Christmas time The insurance tape is an interesting 'keep' - I probably no longer own anything that's on it. I 'purged' before we moved here. And anyway - if you keep the insurance tape in the house
and the house burns - DUH Not sure why I purchased a Pilates tape - I assume I got it in the dollar bin
No, I never used it. Not sure why I kept it - maybe to make me feel guilty LOL |

Glad I could inspire you, Janice. You even made a nice cover for each CD - I bet the CD's had printed labels too. But, you give me too much credit. My process was not as sophisticated as yours.....mine were done by Shutterfly. Not sure why I purchased a Pilates tape - Like you I wonder why I still have some of this stuff. In my case it's yoga   |

BUT digging a little bit deeper I came up with three additional finds for this challenge.......   
Oh and this last one is "turned turtle".....an expression I had never heard before Tony posted his turtle last week. |

I made my homemade DVD’s with Premier Elements 2. I got Photoshop Elements 4 and Premier Elements 2 bundled together at a bargain price. I knew the Adobe Photoshop name, but I was greatly confused as to why I could get both for $100. I didn’t know what I bought, but I was purchasing all sorts of software for creating and figured it was time for a new challenge. And challenge it was. Wow, PSE was difficult to learn after working with user friendly things like the Hallmark greeting card program. Almost 20 years later - here I am — still learning PSE.

Oh and this last one is "turned turtle"..... I remember when I was very young my mother used to buy meat and mince it through that very contraption. I believe you would know mince as ground meat. |

We use both mince and ground when referring to the process

The first time I heard the term 'ground beef or meat' was when Roseanne Barr used it in a TV programme (can't remember the name) and I wondered what she was talking about. When I saw it I thought that looks like what we call mince. You say tomayto we say tomato ha ha ha...it all comes down to the same thing. |

Fotofrank - that short wave photo is beautiful. And fascinating! My entry is a Princess style telephone. When we bought it was cutting edge because, well, touch-tone.  Shot in BW using a Tri-X Push Process film recipe in my Fuji X100V. Thanks for the theme Sepiana. |

www.oldest.org/technology/phones/That's a Trimline phone - this site shows the difference between Trimline and Princess I assume the Princess phone went push button at some point since it was manufactured for many years We had both Trimlines and Princess phones. Ahhh, the good old days. Looks like a good website to look for other 'old' things - and no, I'm not listed there. LOL I am not a 'saver' of 'stuff' but I wish I had saved one of my transistor radios. As a young teen, I always had a transistor with me. Motown, of course. Milwaukee had a station that exclusively played Motown.

Just looked at the site you referenced, Janice. It is a nice addition to this thread with a separate category for oldest technology.
