I still buy DVD's and CD's 'cause it's nice to have, watch and listen to the originals. I like to be able to play them back too. I'd download music too but pay for it with itunes. Used to download music for free but since broadband providers have stamped on that I stopped so download music online now since I have i'm able to get an o2 money card. Didn't have a credit card only a laser card beforehand. So happy enough to either download my music from itunes or buy music CD's. Anything else I cannot think of.

I don't own a mobile phone, just use the landline.

These things cause people to think I live in the dark ages, but I prefer them to the alternatives.

What outdated practices do you still prefer?

I don't have an iphone. I hate the flat screen. Buttons on a mobile phone make it easier to text while driving...

I have never seen The Dark Crystal!

Just picked it for another film forum I frequent, just because it was a movie title with a girl's name in it and I use it in most forums I post on.

I must get around to eventually watching it someday...

I have four TV channels and move the cats ears around to get better reception.

I agree with these two. Hate glossy screens on laptops.

I don't own a mobile phone. I have an MP3 player that I got as a present a few years ago but I only ever used it once on holiday about five years ago.

I like going for a walk and listening to the sounds of birds and animals. I love these sounds and I don't get why anyone would want to drown them out with music. I see people going for a jog in a lovely area while listening to an iPod and I think they're missing out. When I do listen to music I like to concentrate on it rather than using it as background noise.

I also like being able to go for a walk without the distraction of a mobile phone ringing every five minutes. If I want to talk to someone I can wait until I get home.
