I doubt that digital cameras will retain much value, at least the basic
models. I am already on my third and the older two are in the loft not worth
anyones use. One is too poor resolution and the other eats batteries.
A loft full of computers, video recorders, hi-fi all as good as new but
outdated. What do you do with it all??
I'm using a couple of speakers I bought in 1980 -- they have a better
bass response that any of the sub-woofer systems I've seen.
Some of the modern stuff is crap.
