  This thread is implying that all of that stuff is ancient history. With the exception of the AOL addresses everything on that list is still in use.

    Fax machines, fine, certain organizations still require those mostly because people fall to understand that a fax machine is just a scanner and printer and this some bearaucracy failed to keep pace.

    Same story for checkbooks.

    AOL is still a thing and you can even sign up for it today, email address wise.

    Record players are in use, though more people own records than record players, more popular as display pieces than actual music medium.

    I would say everything else on the list is pretty much dead unless you go out of your way to do them, and nothing else on the list has so much nostalgia appeal compared to the problems and difficulty with them.
